My paint is not factory. It is very close to the factory color but it is very different. The color changes (from Silver to Sky Blue) depending on the lighting (it's not chromallusion). The factory light blue color is called Azure Blue Pearl. I do not know the paint code sorry.

that custom paint sounds sweet. who makes that paint? i was looking at the chromolusion and besides the color david got the others arent that nice looking. they all have like pink and purple in them. im gonna have to look for paint called azure blue pearl. i wounder how come in the computer it came up as winter blue? that name didnt sound right when he said it.

The custom paint was free.. back when I was in High School I had alot of friends who went to vo-tech schools for Automotive and they needed a car to spray so I gave them mine and they used a good mix of colors for my car. They actually tried to match factory paint but they messed up the paint mixing. lol Well 2 1/2 weeks later I got my car back and I was like WOW!! I think winter blue that the place told you might actually be the same as Azure Blue Pearl.. just that they call it "winter blue" instead. Color names really don't matter.. it's the paint code that matters the most.

oh forgot to add... There is a place on your car that actually lists the paint code. I am drunk right now so I can't remember exactly where it is. My guess is on the Driver Side door where it lists your vehicle weight and stuff like that.. I'm not 100% on that... it's a guess. Ask someone else on the board.. they will probably know. DanNY?? are you reading this??

i'm not sure of the code off hand, but i can sure tell you that nobody has color matching paint! when i looked up my code, i went to all the paint stores and auto stores, it came up as silver frost! wtf? it didnt even look close to my color, it was just plain silver. i couldnt find a match anywhere. for my grille, i just went into pepboys and tried to find the closest match. i think i ended up getting some toyota paint, and the match is pretty good. but the difference is kinda noticable, and irritates me. i'd really like to get my hands on some color matching paint. its not worth it for me to go get some mixed, i dont want to pay the money for that. i've been having the same problem as you man!
