Hello I have a 94 celica GT it is black in color. My problem is that I bought some sideskirts that I painted "dupont pitch black" enamel paint. I sprayed them with my compressor. They are considserabley darker and shinier than my celica. I don't like it at all. I love duponts pitch black color I have painted two other cars that color black it is as deep and shiny as any black I have ever seen. But the gloss black on my celica isn't that dark. I know my car was repainted by someone before I bought it as it was in an accident. I know it is not a clearcoat paint I believe it to be another type of enamel paint. My question is:

-Is there somewhere on my vehicle I can find the paint code.




-Where can one go and buy paints that match factory colors?



-Also did the celica come wth a clearcoat back in 1994 or was it a plain old enamel paint. Anyone ever had this problem with black????? THankss....

all the 94+ celicas were basecoat clearcoat from the factory.
the stock black code from the celica is 202.
any good paint supply shop should be able to match the factory color.
