Paint Codes:
86-88:
Artic Silver Metallic - J5
Tornado Silver Metallic - K8
Brilliant Black - PZ
Sunrise Red - RH
Crystal White - UC
Dover White - WU
Noble White - WY
Satin Gold Metallic - 1A
Claret Metallic - 2H
Royal Maroon Metallic - 3A
Sapphire Blue Metallic - 5A
True Red - NP

89-92:
Brilliant Black - PZ
Blaze Red - SQ
Crystal White - UC
Winning Silver Metallic - 1F
Shadow Silver Metallic - 3G
Harbor Blue Metallic - 5D
Brave Blue MC - 5N

That's from the FAQ. To be sure, you can look on the passenger side firewall for a aluminum plate. It will have you VIN and paint code. Look for "5N".

Both of my 91's don't have one... just a stamped vin directly into the firewall. All of my vehicle info is on the doorjam.

EDIT: I *wish* it was a metal plate in the engine bay.... when I get the car repainted. .the doorjams will be sanded/painted... and that stupid sticker they replaced the metal plate with will be gone.

Sure thing.. just call up mazda.. they'll print one out. (j/k). I have a friend with a vinyl printer. Perhaps we could scan one and make custom ones. That'd be neato
