I believe it’s at the bottom of the “service parts identification” label on the left inside part of the glove box.

57 would be the paint color, the paint code is also on the glove box sticker and should be 5 characters, usually beginning with a W or U.

No, not exactly. WA-637R is the Touch Up Paint number. The COLOR CODE is 57U.

If you are ordering paint or a painted part you need to furnish both numbers if you want to guarantee the paint will match.

FWIW - Crystal Red Metalic is one of the colors you need to be careful with as the paint color is 89U but there are two possible codes of U505Q and WA505Q.

Ask me how I know :-)
