Well i didnt bother matching up the exact paint for my little spots of rust. it's not bad but noticeable on the color change.
i need the white color code for touchup paint. and also methods for repainting cause i sanded down rust to metal then repainted. is that right?

your car is bright white. same as mine. and no matter what it will always be whiter than the rest of the car.

Dupli Color number is NG GM 433.

actually, if you match up the paint code on the trunk lid, you'll find that the color is arctic white.

dupli color code is NG GM 153, and it matches perfectly..
