Paint Codes
1993 Dodge Dakota LE, 5.2L Magnum, Auto Trans A518, RWD
I'm repainting most of the left side center of my truck. 90% of the scratches, dings, and chips are relegated to this area so I'll be happy to just refinish this and forget the rest. I have the two tone paint job and I'm talking about the tan-ish center on the left side from the door to the back.
My hood sticker says that is paint code QV4. When I check with these touch up paint joints they don't list that color. But they do list PV4, KV4, V4, DT2675, AY96KV4 that I believe are the same as my QV4. Why they have so many numbers for the same color is beyond me. Probably has something to do with proprietary rights or sumpin'. I tried calling Dodge and they have no clue. Besides the color name and online chips suggesting QV4 = PV4... I found a chart online https://www.yoyopart.com/oem/5784488...ml#interchange that suggests these are the same colors.
Anyhow, if anyone knows anything about paint and/or paint codes I would appreciate your insight.

I found exact matches in rattle cans at the auto stores. If you go that route don't use their clear coat it isn't long lasting. A local auto paint supplier showed me a rattle can with an attachment for regular clear coat, after I had already done my hood. Anyway if nothing else I am sure you know you can go ask a body shop or the local body shop paint supplier to look that up for you.
