The paint code on a Mazda 2 is typically located on a sticker either on the driver's side door jamb (door shut) or inside the engine bay.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Door Jamb (Common): The most common location is on the driver's side door jamb. Open the driver's side door and look for a sticker or plate on the door frame itself. This sticker often contains the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) along with other manufacturing information, including the paint code.
-
Engine Bay (Alternative): If you don't find it on the door jamb, check inside the engine bay. Look for a similar sticker attached to the inner fender or firewall.
What to Look For on the Sticker:
- The paint code might be labeled as "Color Code," "Paint Code," "Color," or something similar.
- Mazda paint codes are typically a combination of letters and numbers (e.g., 34K, A4D).
Example Scenario:
Imagine you open the driver's side door of your Mazda 2 and locate a white sticker. On that sticker, you see the following information:
- VIN: JMZDE23456789012
- Color Code: 34K
In this example, "34K" is your Mazda 2's paint code.
If You Still Can't Find It:
- Consult your owner's manual: The owner's manual may contain information about the location of the paint code.
- Contact a Mazda dealer: Your local Mazda dealership can help you locate the paint code using your VIN.
