Default paint code

well i thought my truck color was called Mineral grey metallic which is paint code PDM. but i just looked on my door and it says PDR, which would be called viper graphite metallic. is this correct?

i was planning on ordering a a quart of it so i can paint my mirrors until i buy tow mirrors. the tops of the mirrors are fading bad and its the only thing on the whole truck that looks bad. i thought id fix it. but before i go buy paint, i want to varify the paint

I looked on my 03 ram book, and it's calling it "graphite metallic" as far as I know, 02 and 03 colors are the same, and I think that (graphite metallic) is your color. Look on the sicker stuck on the inside of your glove box. The light silver is called "bright silver metallic".

PDM is a Mineral Gray Metallic. I work at a Dupont paint jobber, and I looked it up on my computer here at work. Depending on the brand of paint you get, you shouldn't need a quart to paint just your mirrors. A pint should do, depending on how it gets reduced.
