Find Your Alfa-Romeo's Color Code
A color code is the unique ID for your car's specific paint. Color codes are the only way to guarantee a perfect match - names are unreliable.
Where to find your Alfa-Romeo Color Code
Alfa-Romeo color codes can be found on a Color ID Tag, which is typically a small, rectangular sticker or metal plate packed with technical vehicle data. It often features a silver, black, or white background with dense alphanumeric text and barcodes.
In addition to the Color Code, the Color ID Tag contains a lot of other information - like the VIN, wheelbase, and interior trim. See the diagram below to determine which of these codes corresponds to your exterior paint.
Identifying your Color Code
The Alfa-Romeo paint color code can be found on the trunk lid, inside the spare tire compartment, or in the rear storage area. If not found, Alfa-Romeo can be contacted to determine the color code. If there is no color code, the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number can be requested.
Where to Look for your Alfa-Romeo's Color Code
-
Trunk or Rear Storage
The tag may be on the sides, seat backs, door, or floor of the rear storage. It might take some searching.
-
Inside the Spare Tire Area
Codes here are often on a paper sticker which can fall off or become damaged.
-
Call Manufacturer or Dealership
If unable to locate the code elsewhere, contact your vehicle manufacturer or dealership. Ask for the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number.
Frequently Asked Questions About Color Codes
Where is the paint code on my Alfa-Romeo?
Most paint codes are found on the driver’s door jamb. Other common locations include under the hood, inside the trunk near the spare tire, or less commonly the glove box. You can use our make and year-specific diagrams to confirm the exact location for your vehicle.
Can I use my Alfa-Romeo's VIN to find the paint color code?
No. The VIN does not contain your paint color code. It only helps identify formula variations after the correct color code is known. You must locate the paint code on the vehicle itself for accurate matching.
What does a Alfa-Romeo paint code look like?
Paint codes are short combinations of letters and numbers, typically 2–6 characters long. Formats vary by manufacturer, but the code will always be clearly labeled on the vehicle’s identification plate or sticker.
What’s the difference between a Color Code and a Factory Code?
The Color Code is always required: it identifies the paint color on your vehicle. The Factory Code is only required on certain vehicles. Factory Codes identify where or how that color was produced – some car manufacturers use multiple factories, which can result in slight shade variations. When requested, the Factory Code helps us mix the correct color for you.
Are Alfa-Romeo paint codes in the same place on every vehicle?
No. Some manufacturers use consistent locations, while others vary by model and year. Always check the diagrams for your exact vehicle year and make.
Why are some Alfa-Romeo paint codes harder to find than others?
Some manufacturers place paint codes in hidden or unusual locations, such as under trunk carpeting or among many other numbers. This is common with brands like Audi, Porsche, and Mercedes.
How do I find interior Alfa-Romeo paint color codes?
Interior colors are not factory-coded on vehicles. To identify an interior color, you’ll need to match it using physical color chips or a body shop reference book. Once identified, we can make the paint for you.
What if I still can’t find my Alfa-Romeo paint code?
Double-check all locations shown in the diagrams, including less obvious areas. On classic or rare vehicles, you may need to contact the manufacturer directly. If you’re still unsure, contact us and we’ll help guide you.
I found my paint code, but there's no matching paint on this site.
