2011 Jetstream Blue Paint Code
Anyone know what or where I can find a reliable source for paint codes. I am in need of having to paint my fender and front bumper, just looking to make sure we have the right code.

Take the car to your preferred paint vendor and the can scan the actual paint and mix it based off of the spectrum the scanner reads.
Its actually more reliable than using the factory paint codes as it accounts for the UV damage already done to the paint since day 1

paint codes for JSB
I can give you the WA # for the base color and the intermediate tint coat before the clear coat (3 stage) paint WA# is WA512Q,85. brand code 917976, Main layer 917976/1, transparent coat 917976/2 ..this is for PPG. Most high end body shops use PPG products, most body shops mix there own paint with there mixing systems. All the different paint systems will use the same WA# I have given you for the color code. FYI.. I have a JSB Z06 and I am a body man/painter

JSB paint code
Any body shop that has a good painter knows there are variances to any difficult color, the manufacture of the paint provides them with all the color variances, the shop does a spray out of each and matches one to your car. If the need to get closer they will tint to match, The only time they shoot a color for a formula is when there is no paint code to start with.

Yeah I figured for The most part, I was just told "having issues verifying the color code". I am hoping the car will be finished by Saturday. All that is left to do is just paint.
