Default Paint match PDX code

Hello friends,

Ever have that "LOOK OUT!" moment where you've taken the Jag for a spin, left it in the driveway, and the S.O. comes home late after dark and backs right into it, where you're yelling STOP! at the top of your lungs?

Well, long story short, I'm shopping for a new passenger fender, Ebay doesn't seem to have any with PDX paint code so.. I've found a couple fenders, but will need to repaint to factory.

Do you have any advice for good paint match sources? Should I go to the dealer? Opinions welcomed! If not I will call the dealer and see what they have, if anything.

-Jim

have heard good results about this place (I plan to use them as I need a complete respray) - they show PDX for 96-98 MY and then it becomes PED.

You just saved me a ton of work. Found this one, it's a little scratched but so is the rest of the car. If PED=PDX, I won't have to chase down any color matches. Honestly matching faded factory paint with faded factory paint is probably better

Thanks!
