Paint Code

[01Cavy]

Does anyone know the paint code to a White 01 Cavy? The previous owner of my car must have ripped the code out because it isn't under the spare tire cover like it should be. A little kid hit my car with a 4-wheeler about a month ago and I finally got the money from his dad to fix it, but I don't have a paint code. Any help would be appreciated!

I would..
a) paint it a different color alltogether and make it nicer or..
b) call a dealer they will have all that info

I'm not painting the car a different color. Only reason I'm fixing it is because I'm not paying for it, and I just don't want the value to decrease because I'm looking to get rid of it. I found a nice RX-8 I want, its just so far away.

Thanks for the offer CRJ, but I have no way of knowing which row it is. Like I said...I never had mine, so I didn't know there were more than one row on there.

It wouldn't increase or decrease, but you'd get no return on the investment.

gotcha

i would still get the whole thing painted another color

No my value would decreas if I didn't get the bumper fixed!

And why paint the car another color if you have no intentions on keeping it? That's a wast of money!

you said you had the money to fix the car and you wanted it painted.
thats why you asked for the paint code.
you are going to have to pay for the paint job anyways.
didnt you say the other car was far away.
it sounds you like you werent going to get the new car

People always forget about the downfall of painting a car a different color....umm...like the engine bay would remain the old color, unless you take out the engine and paint inside there, inside the trunk, inside the door sills and frames, etc...

yea and then on top of that the underside of the carpet is still painted. Had a red truck one time and pulled the carpet up to find blue.

Ok you are misunderstanding me. I got the money to get the BUMPER fixed...since some kid hit it. His dad paid for it to be fixed...not for the whole thing to be painted! Yes the new car is far away, but I'll be in that area Sunday anyways, so I'm going to look at it and see if it is worth going back for. Even if I don't get that specific car, I will be getting rid of the Cavy one way or another! Also, I like the white color...and don't care to change it. Even if I were keeping the car I wouldn't change the color.

You can have all that painted too...just cost more!
