Not that I am aware of. Are you trying to see if a car has been repainted by looking at pictures? Ask to see a pic of the plate located inside the door jam.

Just pull back the inner panel by front headlight area on driver's side in front trunk and it will tell you color and color code.

Can somebody decode this for me? Trying to figure out the name of the interior color as the leather's got "antique" looking marbling all over. Reminds me of my dad's old executive chair.

Thanks!
