Look on your compliance plate, it should say 'PAINT' with the code under it.

Ok most places I called didnt have a listing at all for colour coded "JN" but one place has it as Burgundy (the car is dark metallic grey) and Pep Parts has it as two-tone silver...... also my owners handbook just has it listed as silver.
I'm beginning to think I should just remove a panel and get it paint matched......
