How to find exact color of my car?

I bought a used Ford Crown Victoria that originally a police car about a year ago from this dealership that repainted it with a brand new color. I have some marks on the car and I want to use the exact same color paint the dealership used. How do I know which paint color to order?

Since it's not the original color you are looking for, it may be difficult to find out, unless the dealership whom painted the car, has a file on the color they used.

A competent auto body shop should be able to match it.

As Parker says, a competent bodyshop/paintshop will be able to match exactly what the color now is, which may be different from the color applied after fading etc.

  • Would it be possible to change the color of a car's radio back lighting? I'm thinking about buying a 2005-07 Ford Five-Hundred Limited. The dash lights are green at night. I like the green but, I'd rather have red. The buttons, switches, and gauges shouldn't be much of a problem. The radio displays might be a problem. This is the radio it has. I like the radio. http://www.ebay.com/...0824519525 How do I change the color of the display along with the buttons? The same with the climate controls.

  • Car color suggestions please? I'm a 21 year old girl I'm planning to buy a ford mustang 2014 v6 and I'm stuck with the color which is black or silver. I want this car to stand out. Since I always wear black color clothes I thought maybe black will look great on me and I love black. But silver is another great option I'm totally confused. I feel if the car is silver the lights of break and stuff will look awkward and on black car it looks great. I really need help.
