Missing paint code for '04 Vibe

Post by Lefty »

I need to buy some touch-up paint for my gray '04 Vibe. A guy at my local AutoZone store told me that there were several grays for that model and to look for the paint code in my car. I've looked through several topics here and it sounds as if the code should be on a "service parts identification" sticker in my glove box. However, there is no such sticker in my glove box (I bought the car used). Is there anything I can do to identify the gray I need, short of buying all the grays and trying them until I find the right one?

What is gray? In the '04s, there were two "grays", the silver gray (satellite) and the darker gray (shadow) Both could be considered "gray" Looks like you've never posted a picture of your Vibe here. so I can't say which of the two you have. Is yours Shadow or is it Satellitehttp://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=19784 has paint codes by color name for 03-06http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5550 also has paint codes, and a picture of an example sticker, typically found on the inside of the glove box door

Never had to look for it on the vibe yet, but on most cars I have always found it in the driver door jam

Some have the sticker in the spare tire well or on the underside of the cover.

Still not sure about the color

Post by Lefty »

It may be Shadow, although the text with one of the Shadow pictures seems to say that Moonstone was similar to Shadow. Was there a Moonstone color on the '04s? And I've looked everywhere, including in the glove box, for a sticker with codes on it and haven't found one. Is there any way to get the color code by sending or entering the VIN somewhere?Thanks.
