Saab Touch Up Paint Colors for Saab Paint Repair

Saab codes are relatively easy to find as they are normally on the drivers door jamb.  Old Saabs are about impossible to find color codes on so look in the engine compartment, the trunk area, inside the transmission (just kidding), I think you get the idea.

The typical color code format is:

 230

which corresponds to:

230   Scarabe Green Metallic Clearcoat

Same Color Code, Different Name
Saab, like all manufacturers, uses the exact same color across many models and then will have a different color name for each model. It's the same paint! This is why the color code is so important to order the correct paint.

For example, 230, above we call Scarabe Green Metallic Clearcoat . It could also be called Green Clearcoat, Mystic Green   Clearcoat, etc. depending on what the marketing department decided to call it.
