1988 Mazda 323 Touch Up Paint (11 OEM Colors)

Use the paint code from the Mazda 323 label and match it to the color page before ordering. The model page narrows the list, but the paint code decides the match.

For the Mazda 323, start with the make-specific code guidance: Mazda Color Codes are usually found on the Color ID Tag in the driver-side door jamb or door frame. The tag may label the Color Code as BODY Color Code or Color Code; on some models and years it is instead on an under-hood label on the firewall, at the back of the engine area near the windshield. Mazda Color Codes are usually 2 to 3 characters, such as 41V, 46G, 46V, or A4A. If the label is missing, ask a dealer parts department for a VIN lookup before ordering paint.

The paint code is safer than the color name. Similar names can appear on different years, models, or makes.

Use the paint code guide, check other label locations, or ask a dealer to look up the code by VIN before ordering.

Yes. Body paint, trim paint, wheel paint, textured parts, and special finishes can use different materials or codes for Mazda 323. Match the exterior paint code for body-color repairs, and verify a separate finish before ordering paint for trim, wheels, or unpainted parts.

For Mazda 323 repair, use a pen for tiny chips, a bottle for small chips or short scratches, a spray can for larger areas that can be masked, and PRO sizes for panel or spray-gun work. Choose a kit when the repair also needs primer, clearcoat, sanding, or polishing supplies.
