Here's a PaincScratch tip... If you don't find your color, try searching the
previous year. My '91 's color was listed in '90 but not 91'. I confirmed
the code on the site with the code I found in a sticker pasted into my
maintainance logbook.

BTW has anyone tried their (PaintScratch's) paint? Recommendations?? The
price looks about the same as my local CarQuest who supply the paint to be
mixed with a reducer when you are ready to spray. If paintscratch sells it
pre-mixed, then it is about 1/3 more expensive than the FLAPS.
