Default Where to find color code?

Alrite I know this seems like a dumb topic but I need to know where the color code is for a 98 ES. I looked on the drivers door jamb and under the hood but I can't seem to find it BTW, my color is Diamond White Pearl if anyone knows what that color code is. Thanks for the help guys.

sorry if i can't help you much, but i hope this helps?

when i checked www.autovisuals.com, their website seemed like it had all the color code listings. besides the color code, it has the name of the color too when searching for the model and make and year it has the full listing.

Thanks for the help 1mz-fe. I was checking my color code on www.paintscratch.com, but I wanted to make sure it was the right color.

Hoebag, this seems to be the right color code since I found it on a couple of websites and I only need the white color code. Thanks a lot guys for your help guys.

I saw a purple 1997 ES300 today at the mall. tripped out cuz i didn't think the ES came in that color. i thought it was custom but then i realized that it had stock everything and it was two toned also. hmmm interesting.

Look on the sticker that says MFD BY TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION, on the bottom of the laber there should be a line that says C/TR , the first three digits is the color code.

DWP = 051

If you're chip is down to the sheet metal, you need a base white before you can apply the 051 touchup. DWP is a 3 stage paint process so it's very hard to match. You will need a base white like 040 Super White and apply the 2nd coat with the pearl.

I'm actually gettin a replica camry spoiler off of ebay from the seller trimking1. I've read a lot of positive reviews about them and their paint matching. Hopefully they can match DWP to the car, but I'll make sure to tell em to give the spoiler a base of 040 Super White and then follow it up with DWP.

If you're having a body shop paint the spoiler, they should know which base white to use when shooting 051. I was referring to using 040 as a base white for touch up paint purposes w/051.
