VIN Year Chart | Find and Decode Your Vehicle’s Year Quickly

Every vehicle produced since 1981 has a unique vehicle identification number, or VIN for short. A VIN contains data specific to the vehicle it is attached to including the year the vehicle was manufactured. The 10th digit of every VIN represents the year the vehicle was made. Here is a simple VIN year chart to help you decode the year your vehicle was manufactured in.

The letters I (i), O (o), Q (q), U (u) and Z (z), as well as the number zero, are never used on a VIN because they can be confused with other digits. You may have noticed that some digits repeat, this is because the 10th digit of the VIN is re-used every 30 years.

Where is the paint code? We are looking for the color code of a car, motorcycle, outboard motor

MegaZip

Hello, taxi? I've been waiting for an orange-colored car for half an hour already!..

— Excuse me, but a blue-colored Opel has been waiting for you for half an hour!

How can you be sure that after a body repair, the fender of your car will be the same color shade as the rest of the body?

Which ceiling light part number is correct if you have it gray and the catalog offers at least two options for this color?

Your bike is very black, very epic. .. And the tank decals with the cherished name for this year's black bikes came in different designs. How to find the right ones?

A small cap from the body was lost on the outboard motor ... such a blue one ... (I think you already understood me - you also need to order it “in color”)

For those who want to get answers to these questions, save time, money, nerves and be 100% sure of the order - reading this article is highly recommended!

So, let me introduce you to the expert on the correct selection of painted parts, original stickers and small blue caps - mysteeeeeer Color Code!

Yes, the color code will be our main assistant on these pages. And it's time to get to know him better.

The color code is a set of letters and numbers in which the color scheme of the vehicle is encrypted. Each manufacturer has its own codes, but the look will always be the same, for example: 4P2; 739; BWC1 and the like. In most cases, the color code is located on the identification plate, where the VIN is stamped or next to it. How to find the place where the tablet is hiding, read here. Other location options are also possible, but let's talk about everything in order.

I have divided the technique into the appropriate sections to make it easier for you to read. Let's start with the most common transport - four-wheeled.

CARS


For cars there are:

COLOR CODE - paint code for body parts. It can refer to one or more colors. By the way, do you also sometimes think that the fashion for two-tone cars is back?

TRIM CODE - interior color scheme. It consists of the color of plastic parts, seat colors and decor. For example, in the interior of my car, elements of different shades are used, but all of them are united by trim code LB00.

Now more about finding them on the machine itself. As mentioned above - COLOR CODE and TRIM CODE are almost always placed on the identification plate. The rule is true: there was a plate - there was also a paint code.

However, there are exceptions to every rule. A striking example is Honda cars, for which codes can be placed on separate stickers (most often in the driver's door opening).

Now that the codes are found, proceed as follows:

If you plan to paint the body, just tell your paint code to specialists, and they will make an accurate selection. If you want to purchase original (factory) paint, well, let's say MAZDA, or maybe you prefer a specific brand (3M, Duxone, Rock Paint or any other), use the online paint selection service. Many reputable car enamel manufacturers provide it for free on their websites.

If you decide to order a new painted part or interior element, I strongly recommend that you open the car in the original catalog using the VIN.

This method allows you to find out the desired “part number” with an accuracy of 99.9%. Most of the electronic services that give access to original catalogs are designed in such a way that they leave only the necessary part numbers if your car has “broken through” in it. If several options remain, notes indicating the specification and color of the part will help. For example, HONDA (those cryptographers) in their catalogs, together with the “part number”, write only the color code of the part.

But that doesn't scare us anymore. We check the "code" with the color scheme of the car's interior and select the part, as they say, in color. If the sticker on the car has become completely unreadable or is simply missing, then try the following life hack. Carefully remove one of the interior details and look at its reverse side - often there is also a color code along with the catalog number. And, of course, no one canceled the almighty search on the Internet.

Please note: sometimes body parts are delivered unpainted. In such cases, the catalogs are labeled like “ready-to-paint”, “paint for usage” and so on. This means that the part will arrive to you primed, polished and ready for painting. Well, we have already figured out the selection of the car body paint code, haven't we?

MOTOR EQUIPMENT

For motorcycles, mopeds, ATVs and snowmobiles, the color code encodes, firstly, the tank paint code and plastic elements (there are often several colors) and, secondly, the type of stickers and emblems used in this case.

Let me give you an example. There are four 2006 Suzuki GSX-R750s in the picture, and each of them has its own fairing colors and graphics (stickers):

Motorcycle manufacturers are guys with wild imagination. They tirelessly conduct market research and decide on its basis: for example, in Australia, a bike with light green stripes on the tank will sell better than the same with dark green. And voila, come up with a new color scheme! Therefore, as with cars, the advice here is to find your “device” in the original catalog and accurately determine its model year, delivery region and available color schemes.

I will not dwell on the region codes (Eng. Market Codes) in this article, it is not difficult to find information on your own, if you are not banned on Google / Yandex, of course.

The only thing I want to draw attention to is that every motorcycle brand sometimes comes up with its own classification of these codes, and this must be remembered. And now let's practice a little in choosing parts and stickers.

Let's choose the rear left fairing (tail) for the above Suzuki GSX-R750K6. Suppose we have a yellow-black bike. The catalog offers 4 options:

The last three characters are just our color hint. Look at the Color chart or google if such a section of the catalog is not available.

Our version: 45502-02h20-YEC for a bike with a yellow-black color. According to the diagram, the part comes with stickers, which is very cool. And now let's imagine that we need only the “750” label for this

fairing. So, we look in the catalog:

We are offered two options, each has a note. We select containing the code we need “YEC”. Quest passed.

For Yamaha motorcycles, in addition to the VIN code, a plate with the model number will help you select painted parts. As a rule, it hides under the seat and looks like this:

It stands for: 5VY1 - model number, 060 - delivery region code, C - color option. This information allows us to accurately locate the catalog and determine the color scheme. In our example, the motorcycle is painted Dark Bluish Gray Metallic 8 (DBNM8; 0919)

Honda traditionally places color code stickers on its motorcycles, and you can find it in 95% of cases can also be under the seat. Very convenient:


But don't forget about Honda's passion for encryption/marking/coding. When choosing painted parts for Honda motorcycles, you can find the following designations:

The decoding can be found in the catalog on the first pages, where color photographs of the model and plates with intervals of serial numbers are placed. Color photos indicate the color code and the same TYPE1, TYPE2, ...

From the tables you can find out the region of delivery (area code) by finding your VIN or frame number in the indicated ranges.

I'm sure: lovers of quests and puzzles will spend many pleasant hours in the Honda catalogs for clues.

Of the “big four”, it remains to mention Kawasaki. You will not find helper stickers here, but the color is always indicated in the catalogs for painted parts. This simplifies our task. It remains to accurately determine the model year, open the “native” catalog and select the one you need.
