DESCRIPTION
Exterior vehicle body colors are identified on the
Body Code plate. The plate is located on the floor pan
under the passenger seat or attached to the front
face of the radiator closure panel. Refer to the Intro-
duction section at the front of this manual for body
code plate description. The paint code is also identi-
fied on the Vehicle Safety Certification Label which
is located on the drivers door shut face. The color
names provided in the Paint and Trim Code Descrip-
tion chart are the color names used on most repair

BASE COAT/CLEAR COAT
FINISH
DESCRIPTION
The original equipment finish is a multi-step pro-
cess that involves cleaning, electrodeposition (e-coat),
base coat, and clear coat steps. Additionally, selected
areas of the vehicle may be coated with an anti-chip
finish.
OPERATION
On most vehicles a two-part paint application (base
coat/clear coat) is used. Color paint that is applied to
primer is called base coat. The clear coat protects the
base coat from ultraviolet light and provides a dura-
ble high-gloss finish.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive chemicals or com-
pounds on painted surfaces. Damage to finish can
result.
Do not use harsh alkaline based cleaning solvents
on painted surfaces. Damage to finish or color can
result.
