All you have to do is walk out to your car and look at the chassis sticker in the door jamb!

When it was first painted, wasn't it a mix of colors. 2 on the vr, and like 3 on the cym. When people get repaints don't they usually just get one coat of red, so it's not actually the exact same color?

I'm pretty sure *red* R1 and Base models have a different color code (and color) than Touring models.

Make sure you get the correct color.

alright this has bothered me for years so I'll go ahead and put my 2 cents in. Most of these paints by the time they reach the consumer change names about 3 different times. If your having trouble finding them that could be the very reason. I'm not sure about the color codes on the door, I don't ever have need to check them because I work at paint factory that supplies spoilers to all the oem companys. For example Brillant Black, comes from a 55 gallon drum of paint supplied to us by Morton Paints. It is also the same source of black paint to all the other companies with in need of black parts, although it's not the same name. If you want to find the factory color compare your color of your car with the dupi-color pens at wal-mart. It sounds crazy but all the dupi-colors pens have the factory paint number and name.

Dude, what are you talking about? A paint code is a paint code...the whole point of the system is that a shop can get the same color as any other shop.
