Perhaps, many motorists are familiar with the feeling of disappointment when a scratch or chip is suddenly found on a brand new car. Moreover, no matter what the size of the damage - appearance car for a particularly picky owner seems hopelessly damaged. Fortunately, today there are many ways to restore the original look. paintwork(LKP) of a car body, among which local and general painting of a damaged element is very popular.

Suppose such a misfortune touched the body of your "iron horse". You should not despair, but first of all, you should find a suitable car painting company. Depending on the degree of damage to the paintwork, the specialist will offer to carry out local (that is, in place) or complete painting of the element. The author himself has repeatedly encountered such problems, and from the experience of communicating with car painters, I will say that they prefer to completely paint an element (for example, a door), convincing that local painting is not always suitable due to the fact that you can simply miss the color. And on a large surface, it supposedly happens better. I note that this statement is not always true and in many cases the painter persuades to paint the element completely simply because this procedure is more expensive than local repair of the paintwork. Perhaps the most important point in this operation is the correct selection of paint colors. It is no secret that many, especially foreign automotive manufacturers paint their models with paints that are rarely found in a car workshop in Russia. In addition, the age and condition of the car's paintwork should be taken into account - the paint loses its original color over time. That is why it is so important to “get into” the common color scheme car. Therefore, the quality result of the repair depends on the ability of the painter to mix paints.

Suppose you have agreed with the painter on the type of repair, but the cost of consumables, the same paint, seems overpriced. You can negotiate with the painter and purchase the paint yourself, while, as a rule, the paint company does not take the liberty of guaranteeing a 100% positive result of such a repair. Auto painters explain their position simply: the paint was not bought from them, its quality is doubtful for them. Therefore, the car owner must decide whether it is worth saving on paint and purchasing it "on the side." If you still decide to buy paint yourself, then, first of all, you need to find out the color code of the car .

To do this, you need to find out where your car has a plate with a VIN number. This is a kind of car passport, in a combination of letters and numbers of which information about the date and country of manufacture of the car is encrypted, as well as (but not always) about the paint code that the body is painted with. Most often, such plates are located in the engine compartment or in the front door opening - when the driver's, and when - the passenger.

The fact is that there is no strictly regulated location for the wine code plate, so the manufacturer puts it where it is convenient for him.

By car domestic production data about the paint that covered the car body was placed on a special piece of paper, which was attached to the inside of the trunk or hood.

Suppose you found a plate with a VIN code, and found numbers on it, the meaning of which you do not know. A hint that you have a car color code in front of you can give the inscription Color. If it is not there, then it is difficult to understand the meaning of the numbers. You can rewrite them and bring them to the colorists who will select the paint for the repair - they can determine the paint from various catalogs (Duxon, Mobihell, Spies Hecker and others). But even better - contact the official dealer from whom you bought the car, he will definitely tell you the color code of your car.

If the car was not bought in the salon, but on the plate with the VIN code in the car, for some reason there is no information about the color code, you should not despair. There are special resources on the Internet where you can determine the desired paint code by the wine code. The most accurate and popular are www.autocoms.ru/help/58, www.paint scratch.com, but their drawback is that not all brands of cars that exist today are indicated. Therefore, again, you will have to contact the official dealer of the brand: even if you didn’t buy the car, and it was purchased several years ago, the dealer’s database contains information about it, and he will definitely be able to suggest the color code of your vehicle.

After the color code of the car is determined, it remains only to purchase this paint. This can be done in several ways. The most common ones are from official representatives of the brand to which your car belongs, or through independent sites, for example, exist.ru. Having paid and received the paint, you need to bring it to the specialists of the paint shop where you are going to repair the paintwork, so that they can carry out a test fit - the procedure for selecting the mixture that will be used for coloring, which is optimal in color, composition and weight ratio of pigments. Feel free to ask to be present at this procedure - this is your legal right. Having chosen the optimal shade, experts will restore the paintwork of your car.

Sooner or later, many drivers have to paint the car body. The reason for this need may be an accident, abrasion of the old paintwork, color fading, multiple chips and scratches.

Most often, you need to paint only one or two parts of the vehicle, in most cases - the bumper and fenders. Then you have to find out the name of the paint that covered the car. The easiest way is to determine the paint code by the wine code, because it is almost impossible to do it by eye.

The principle and purpose of the VIN number

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), or VIN - a unique vehicle code consisting of 17 Arabic numerals and Latin letters, except for O, Q, I (due to the similarity of the latter with numbers). It contains data on the main characteristics of the transport, its manufacturer, year of manufacture. In most cases, the VIN code can be seen on the body, chassis or in other places on specially made plates (nameplates).

Thanks to the VIN, you can find out important information about cars and other equipment. This information is entered into the traffic police database, as a result of which, during the inspection, the legality of the manufacturer is clarified, the car is excluded from being wanted, etc. Even the smallest factories mark vehicles with unique codes and enter numbers into special registers. For the driver, the presence of VIN allows you to find out the paint color of the car, if required.

VIN code decoding

The Vin code is a specific cipher. It consists of three groups of indicators:

International Manufacturer Index (WMI). The first digit is the area code of the manufacturing country, followed by 3 characters indicating the name of the manufacturer and the production department.
Description part (VDS). Five digits account for the description of the car - model, body type, transmission, engine, specification.
Distinctive part (VIS). The remaining characters (10-17) determine the year of manufacture, the serial number of the vehicle, the check digits.

The selection of paint according to the VIN code of the car is carried out according to the distinctive part of the information. The type of paint is indicated by sign number 10 (Y - plain, Z - metallic), then three characters (11-13) fall on a unique paint code (for example, 547). The last 4 digits of the control information encrypt the options for finishing the car, its interior, and the features of this configuration.

Thus, you can find all the information about the paint when buying, selling, repairing a car, and also find out whether the vehicle has been repainted, whether it is a “designer”. An unknown VIN number can only be on vehicles over 30 years old - such marking was not practiced before.

VIN location

To search for a Vin code, you must first determine exactly where the nameplate with the identification number is located. Traditionally, automakers attach it to the following places:

trunk bottom;
center pillar on the driver's side;
a place under the driver or passenger seat;
bottom zone windshield(in its left corner);
below the front driver's door;
under the hood.

There are other places for the location of the nameplate, which vary depending on the manufacturer. Below are the most popular manufacturers, car models and areas where you can see the VIN code:

Volkswagen - under the spare wheel, in the trunk;
Hyundai, Ford - on the driver's door, under the hood near the engine;
Nissan - under the hood on the passenger side next to the windshield;
Chevrolet - near the radiator, engine, near the windshield;
Mazda - on racks, under the hood, on the front passenger door;
KIA - in the opening of the driver's door;
Great Wall - on the frame behind the rear right or left wheel.

A clear location for the location of the nameplate has not been established, so the manufacturer can change it at will. Moreover, cars of the same brand assembled at different factories can also have different VIN positions.

How to find out the paint color of a car by VIN code

In order to correctly select the paint number and order it from a dealer or a car repair shop, you must first identify the location of the Vin code. The unique paint code will hide information about the ratio of pigments that make up the enamel. For all manufacturers, except Ford, the code has a numeric value (for Ford, it has an alphabetic value). After a thorough inspection of the car, you need to write out the characters from VIN 10-14, which will be required later.

There are several ways to find out the color by code:

Internet information. Now there are many specialized sites that allow you to produce accurate VIN decoding. Thanks to them, you can clarify the paint code and make its selection for your car.
Dealer information. If the car is bought new or used, but in a car dealership, employees have the necessary information about the paint code. They will also help you find the Vin-code if you couldn’t do it yourself.
Technical certificate. According to this document, you can find out the name of the paint shade, but you will have to look at the exact code directly on the car.
Auto repair shop. Masters in tinting and painting machines themselves find information about the type, composition and color of the enamel before starting work.

Features of searching for a code in domestic cars

Difficulties with finding the Vin code for domestic cars usually do not arise. For most models, the data is hidden under the hood or on the trunk lid. As in conventional marking, there is information about a specific paint code, its brand. Do not be surprised if, after searching the Internet, a paint with a strange name (for example, "milky way") is found. There are catalogs of car enamels where you can order exactly the same paintwork material.

It should be noted that AvtoVAZ additionally indicates the paint code in the so-called form No. 3347. It is located in the glove compartment or is issued to the buyer when purchasing a new car. This greatly simplifies the selection of enamel for the vehicle.

Paint code for foreign cars

Difficulties with finding information can arise even at the stage of finding the location of the VIN. Since there are no uniform requirements for fixing a number in the world, it can be located anywhere. It is easier for those who buy new foreign cars - in the car dealership they will immediately indicate all the required information. The car owner does not have to study the “insides” of the car himself. Those who buy used cars often have a harder time.

First you need to look for the code on the door pillar, in the engine compartment. Usually foreign cars have large nameplates, which makes it easier to find. AT different models"Honda" and even the color can be placed on a separate plate marked "color". If necessary, you can go to the manufacturer's website and there ask a question about the position of the Vin code, indicating the model and year of its release.

other information

By VIN, you can find out whether the car has undergone major changes, whether it is a prefabricated model, which scammers often make money on. Control information helps to do this. Expensive brands even put a check digit, which will help to identify the fact of a fake.

In addition, according to the Vin code, it is easy to determine the type of body, engine, wheelbase, drive, transmission. These data are verified when the machine is registered. Thus, the VIN is the “fingerprint” of the car, which allows you to identify the main data and paint the body with a perfect result.

As a rule, with minor damage to the paintwork (scratches, chips, etc.), only the defective area is restored on the machine. But today there are a huge number of shades of automotive paints on the market, which greatly complicates the selection.

Therefore, in order not to spoil the entire exterior of the vehicle (TC), you need to know the exact paintwork number. The most rational solution would be to find out the color of the car by the VIN code.

How to determine the paintwork number?

You can find out the car paint code by VIN-code in 2 ways:

On your own is a more time-consuming method.
With the help of the AutoHistory online service - quickly, conveniently, accurately and inexpensively.

Most manufacturers indicate the factory color code of the car on the same number plate where the VIN code is stamped. But there is a small snag - if you are not a specialist, it is unlikely that you will be able to find it, since it often does not have identification marks (just a number is indicated). This information may be corrupted or missing altogether. This happens very rarely, but it does happen.

You can also look at the data sheet - it also often reflects this information. But again, it’s not a fact that exactly the numeric and alphabetic code will be indicated, and not just the name of the color.

If the above methods did not work, find out the car's paint number by VIN code - using our service, this can be done in a matter of minutes from any device with Internet access.

What is a VIN and where can I find it?

The VIN is a unique vehicle identification number. As a rule, it consists of 17 characters (Latin letters and Arabic numerals). It encodes full information about the vehicle, including the paint number.

To find out the factory color of the car by the VIN code, you need to know where the plate (nameplate) with the identification number is located. Traditionally, automakers mount it in such places:

B-pillar on the driver's side;
under the passenger or driver seat;
in a special window at the bottom of the windshield (left corner);
at the bottom of the trunk.

Finding out the paint code of a car by the VIN code is necessary not only to restore damaged body elements. This is important for one more reason - stolen vehicles are often repainted and in this case the actual color will not match the factory one, which is registered in the VIN number. This is especially useful for buyers of used cars.

Question: "How to find out the car paint number by VIN-code?" interested in many motorists. You need to select a code for the following reasons:

there is clouding, burnout or abrasion of the coating;
a new car enamel is required after an accident;
the driver wants to pick up an enamel to change the design of the vehicle.

Paint number by VIN code

Owners of used vehicles are especially interested in how to determine the number by VIN. If a bottle of auto enamel of a “native” shade is attached to a new car, then one can only guess how to find out the color number for old cars by number.

If you select the paint code according to the VIN code “by eye”, you run the risk of choosing the wrong color with a high probability, which will cause unnecessary waste of money and time for repainting.

Before you understand how to find out the paint number of a car and calculate the color from the VIN and calculate, you should know what a VIN classification is. Compositions with a VIN code began to be produced 30 years ago, and today it is the international standard for car enamels, which includes 17 characters. The components of the code are divided into 3 groups, in which there are 3, 6 and 8 characters, respectively.

Paint code location on OPEL

Decryption

In the catalog of car paint colors, the shade code is selected based on the following components of the VIN code:

WMI. The first two letters are the designation of the geographical area of production of the vehicle (for example, for Europe, letters S-Z). The third character of the code is a number that indicates the manufacturer.
VDS. The following is the designation of car identification symbols. It indicates the model, modification, body type, weight, brake system vehicle.
VIS. 10-17 places in the series of enamel code symbols are reserved for the year of manufacture and serial number of the car.

How to determine the VIN code

To understand how to determine the VIN number for a VAZ car, you need to know where it is located. Even in international standards there are no requirements for placing a VIN code. Usually you can find the enamel cipher for a car in the following ways:

finding it on the body. The surest way to find out the color code is to look at its presence on the racks near the driver's seat, in the windshield area, in the engine compartment, under the trunk;
"approximately". The least accurate way to determine the shade of the body, which is unlikely to be suitable for a partial repaint of the car;
through dedicated websites. There it is possible to search for the composition by code, or, if you do not know where to look for the color by VIN code, a special field is presented. There you enter the year of manufacture of the car and its model, and the search helps to determine the composition code;

Selection of paint by wine code on special sites

by contacting official dealer manufacturer. Before you find out the VIN code of the shade, contact the representative of the manufacturer by phone. He will be able to report the correct cipher;
in the data sheet. The passport indicates only the color of the composition, but not the code.

After you understand the principle of determining the body color, use the knowledge to get exactly the same shade of enamel. After all, improperly selected enamel for components will worsen the appearance of the vehicle. The rules for how to find the color of car enamel are identical for each of its models.
