Reading paint code

[mika]

I know where the plate with the paint code for my TJ is but what exactly do i need to get some paint made up. The first line on the plate that is next to the passenger seat mount reads 'K5W VKU ZWHITE END' then there is a whole heap more codes below this. Is K5W VKU my paint code?
thanks

Think? might be wrong as its been 10 years since i was a painter but from memory its 3 digits by themselves on the bottom or second bottom line of the tag IE: px8
Could be wrong...often am.

thanks Itchy
yeah seems all the paint codes i came across when searching were 3 digits. Problem is that the plate is full of 3 digit codes! second bottom line has PW1 and QW1.
My jeep is a white 97 renegade incase anybody knows the code. Otherwise i'll ring Jeep.

hi mate,

have a look at this site and it will tell you your code and paint
for a 1997 tj that has a PW1 code then it color is Stone White.
have a look at the link below

Thanks RED JK
Your spot on. I called the dealer on saturday and got the code, i've been meaning to put it up for anybody in the future searching for this info but have been out of power for nearly 48hrs, just came back an hour ago!
Anyway the code can also be found on the plate next to passenger seat rails and in my case my paint code 'PW1' was the first 3 digits by themselves on the second last line on the tag. I assume the code location will be the same on other TJ's too.

I also think on TJ you can find it on a tab on the bottom of the LSH of the Grille, my 2000 TJ has a tab there and that where i find my code

I could never tell whether it was black or dark blue, either way it looks great!

yeah, i had that tab too. It's basically identical to the one on passenger floor
