Default What color is my car?

I've done searches, and I believe that it's Montery Maroon Metallic. However, when I go to buy the Duplicolor touchup paint. I never see Maroon on the list. Just a lot of different red choices.

Does anyone know the actual color or the Duplicolor code for this color.

Thanks

Get the paint code off of it and take it to any body shop and they should be able to tell you what the color is. The paint code is in the glove box or on the inside of the drivers door and should start with a WA and then 4 numbers after that.

I pretty sure it's called medium red metallic... Like blue by you said, check your spid lable on your drivers door & the code should be WA 408G.
