Where do I find the paint colour code on the car? I can see the long number on the plate on the RH engine bay and also the number on top of front valence above grill but can’t anything else.
It’s a black 1993 Rio
Any help appreciated
Cheers

The metal plate in the engine bay should have a three letter code in the bottom left corner - see blank at https://www.ebay.co....S-/202418884450

No problem. The unknown factor is whether the car has previously been repainted using a different 'shade' of black, of course.

 

If you need new Rio decals these are still available.
