INTRODUCTION
Note: This is the most accurate information available at the time of printing.
Various paint manufacturers designate their own stock numbers and coding information
although many of the major suppliers are now using the SOA paint codes to help eliminate
possible confusion. Their color formulations are updated on a continual basis. Some vendors may
have different color names than those provided to them by SOA. Be sure to double-check the codes
and formulas beforehand to help insure an accurate color match. Should discrepancies arise, please
refer your Body Shop contact inquiries to the specific paint vendor or their jobber / supplier for the
most updated formula information.
The paint coding information can be found on the vehicle’s VIN plate.
Subaru color codes are three characters in length.
