Default Paint Codes - Help With interpretation

Can anyone give me a clue on how to read these numbers or have a link to a site that might have an explanation?

Thanks!

These may or may not help. What color is the truck? That tag doesn't really look like paint codes. Look thru the cowl on the passenger side for another tag.

Hey Guys and Girls,

My attached picture above is the tag that has the color code. Chrysler color codes for my truck are 6564 and 6531. If you look at the color codes found here http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcod...rysler&rows=50 you will see Chrysler codes DT6564 DT6531. Yep that's the two colors of my truck. I guess if you just have one color maybe both numbers are the same or you just have on color code on this line ? not sure.. I hope this helps anyone else looking for color codes. This tag is on the drivers side on the front support near the radiator.

What makes this harder than it needs to be is that Chrysler changed their code system. They even moved the location of the tag on some vehicles. I don't know when they made the changes.

My codes are PC7 and QC1. I still have the dealer window sticker that was on the truck when it was first delivered to the dealer. It listed my color codes and then I found the metal tag under the cowl.

Glad you figured yours out.
