Body Color Charts
The body color charts listed below provide an idea of the color combinations created by the factory. The colors are approximate.
If you seek an original color combination, you might take a piece of your body work to have it color matched. It is a good idea to find a section that has not been affected by light. A good choice would be inside the head lamp assembly.
