Color Code of Original Maxima Paint?
Paint code is "CG2"
Even though the attached is from the 4th gen page, the VIN decoding and many of the color codes apply to the 3rd gen. I find this easier to use than the earlier posed link.
You should try to decode your VIN # and you will certainly know your body and trim color code. CG2 may be correct. You can confirm it. Good luck.

So how do I tell if my car is Cali or Fed spec?
Raise your hood. Look for a shiny metal identification tag fastened to the passenger side of firewall. The top row is the Vehicle Identification Number, starting with J. The second row is model information. The first five characters are BLHUL. The 12th character is the destination:
N = Canada
V = California
U = US, not California
