      Default Need a little help with paint code

      I have this '85 LTD LX, and the paint is completely FUBAR'd on it. I'd like to get some paint so I can paint where I weld the seams in the engine bay, and the dodge steel wheels I have for it. However the sticker in the door is almost peeled off and there is no way to read the paint code. Anyone have one like this or know of a way to tell what color/code it is?
      There are some pics of the car in the thread I put up when I first got it, and a pic of the one good spot of paint I polished up to see how it looks.

      The build tags, which are screwed or riveted into the engine bay forward of the radiator, should have all the information on that sticker.

      Does anyone know of a source for replacements for the VIN stickers?

      Thanks MIke, seemed to fade about the same didn't it? You're probably right on about the color.

      I'll check for that tag tomorrow Ben, appreciate it.

      I thought Marti Auto Works reproduced them.
