Default What color is my paint and where can I get some?
1991 Nissan 240sx.

It's a silverish/bluish. The back bumper has faded down to the yellow bumper, not attractive at all. I'm just looking for some original paint just so I can paint the bumper to where it matches. Should I just take it to Maaco? (I'm not looking to spend a lot of money here) any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

sorry it's so hard to tell.. almost dark outside now

I know it's a little darker than the suzuka blue, and less of the pearly color (thank you though)

On the firewall of your car, there will be a plate that has the vin and color code of your car.

Get that, and then look it up:

Honestly from the pics, it looks like it's KG1.

I'm gonna have to go with the misty blue metallic. It's the only choice in the 91 column that would make sense..

I like that color. Always remember wide rims with low offsets are your friends.
