Default Paint Color Code

I am looking for the paint color code for my truck, I know little to nothing about paint or how to find/read the color code.
I know my truck is Alpine White and I Googled and came up with this All Land Rover Colors | GTcarlot.com - Car Color Galleries but I do not know if that is the paint color code or not.
Does anyone know how to figure out the color code?

There should be a sticker somewhere. I know on D2 it's on the core support.

Yes there is, I didnt think about that.
I was outside cleaning up the yard and I thought about that, and sure enough.



Thank you.

It's missing the number... those numbers it has are part numbers for touch up paint. Like my "code" is 601 for the Rioja Red. Some places may look for that number. I think it's in that link I posted.

Thank you very much.
I bookmarked the link, a pint of ready to go is $45, I dont know how much that will cover or if that is a good price or not but it gives me a nice baseline.

Sounds a little high. I'd try to find a local place, if you're buying a pint or more. What part of your truck are you painting?

I am finally going to have my steel rims sandblasted and then painted.
I want to be in the http://www.28thstreetmetrocruise.com/ next year so I need to get on the ball and get things done.
$20 per rim to have them just sandblasted, $75 per if I want them sandblasted and powder coated.
I needed the paint code so I can have them painted once they are sandblasted.
I am not going to have them powder coasted because it cost to much.

That will look awesome. I love how the camel trophy trucks had body colored wheels. Some old mopars did that too, under the hub caps.

I think so too, I already rattle canned them a off white and put snows on them, the color scheme looked great with the white rim, back tire, black lug nuts and black drive flange against the white truck and black ARB, SD and ladder.
But to look really good they need to be cleaned up properly, I just wire brushed them, then used the power washer which got off more paint flakes but you can still see flakes and imperfections in the steel.
They were covered with house paint at one point.
I need to get the rims done, snorkel installed, sand ladders and mounts as well as a shovel and Hi-Lift mount and get another Jerry can and holder and mounted up.
Then put my limb risers on and she will be "parade" ready.
I estimate $1,000 to do all of this with the snorkel being the most expensive part.
I take Pay-Pal if anyone wants to contribute.
