Where to find your Subaru paint code
The factory colour code that gives your Subaru its exact colour — find it once and order a perfect-match touch-up.
On most Subaru models the paint code is on a sticker under the bonnet, near the strut towers, next to Color. The code there — for example K1X — is your colour. Copy it exactly.
If it's not there
- Driver-side door jamb (B-pillar).
- Glovebox, or the boot near the spare wheel.
- Service book or your original paperwork.
