Default Dumb question toend the year...?

Hi All.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all.

I've just acquired a a WRX import and it could do with a bit of tlc on the bodywork. It's black - how can I find out the right colour code (or is black just, er, black?).

thanks

Dave

Firstly thanks and secondly, good question - what to look for on the VIN plate. Assume a code - just hand it over to a car paint place and say "mix me some?" Or is there another (cheaper!) way?

IIRC on the left hand side of the plate there will be two 3 digit codes...the top code is trim code and the bottom one paint code
