Default Can't find touch-up paint for 2001 Tribute

Hi all,

I'm looking for touch up paint for the bumpers on a 2001 2 tone silver/gray tribute. I have the metallic silver, just need paint for the lower, metallic gray. My local dealer can't find it, and I've scoured the web. Anyone know the color code, or where I can find it? I don't see it listed on the door jamb either, at least not clearly. Is there a way to get it from the VIN?

TIA!

I have the same color combo, and I have the touch-up paint at home (the 2 bottles). Now I'm at work, but once I'm home, I will post the 2 color codes.

Cheers

Default Paint colour

If you're in Canada, take your vehicle to the nearest Car Quest auto supply store. The tech will determine the paint code and can mix it up in a convenient size while you wait.
I recently had the hatch of my Titanium grey 2002 painted. The colour match was close.
I was also told Sherwin Williams can do this - there must be other places too.
If you're only looking for the little paint stick for scratch touch ups, the dealer can order that (I have one).

Good luck, Mark

Sweeet. The silver one I have has a big "90" on the top (or "06"?)

Sorry, I was really busy last night. Yes it's 06 on top. I will check tonite.

Odd, the silver bottle they gave says "06". I'll check on the grey. Thanks a ton!
