Finding your Mazda Paint Code
Location of Mazda Paint CodeMazda codes are relatively easy to find as they are normally on the drivers door jamb. Some Mazda models do manage to hide their color codes in the engine compartment so if it is not on the drivers door jamb, you have your work cut out for you.
The typical color code format is:
21R
which corresponds to:
Moonlight Gray Metallic Clearcoat;
Same Color Code, Different Name
Mazda, like all manufacturers, uses the exact same color across many
models and then will have a different color name for each model. It's the
same paint! This is why the color code is so important to order
the correct paint.
For example, 21R, above we call Moonlight Gray Metallic Clearcoat. It could also be called Grey Clearcoat, Moonstone Clearcoat, etc. depending on what the marketing department decided to call it.
