There isn’t a single universal paint code known as “Super Sonic Blue Pearl.” The exact code is specific to the vehicle’s make, model, and year, and is usually found on a color data plate or in the manufacturer’s records. If you share your car’s details, I can help confirm the precise code.
Understanding the color name
The descriptor “Super Sonic Blue Pearl” denotes a pearlescent blue finish used by some automakers. Marketing color names and the official color code are not one-to-one; the same-sounding name can map to different codes across brands or model years. This is why the exact code must be tied to the specific vehicle example you own or are repairing.
Why different brands use different codes
Manufacturers assign a technical color code to each model-year combination, while marketing names are intended for consumer recognition. A color that looks the same on two different cars might have distinct codes because the underlying pigment, metallic flecks, or pearl effects differ by manufacturer or production run.
Where to find the exact paint code
To ensure you order the correct paint, locate the color code on the vehicle’s data plate. The location and labeling can vary by brand and model, so you may need to check multiple spots on the car.
Before you search, have your vehicle details ready: make, model, year, and trim level. The exact code is tied to these specifics.
- Inspect the driver-side door jamb for a label that includes “Color Code,” “Paint,” or a short alphanumeric code.
- Check nearby areas such as the glove box, engine bay, radiator support, or the door edge for an additional label with the color code.
- Look in the owner’s manual, warranty booklet, or the original window sticker for color information and the code.
- If the labels aren’t visible, contact a dealer or the manufacturer with your VIN to have them pull the exact code for your vehicle configuration.
With the code in hand, you can reference official databases or request a matched paint mix from a dealer, body shop, or paint supplier that serves that brand.
Interpreting the code and ordering a match
Beyond the code itself, verify that you’re ordering the correct finish (solid, metallic, or pearl) and shade, since pearl finishes can appear differently under lighting. When ordering, provide both the official color code and the descriptive name “Super Sonic Blue Pearl” to minimize miscoloration. A professional painter can perform a test spray and adjust as needed.
If you’d like, share your vehicle’s make, model, and year and I’ll help identify the most likely paint code associated with “Super Sonic Blue Pearl” for that specific configuration.
Summary
The color name “Super Sonic Blue Pearl” signals a pearlescent blue finish, but the actual paint code is model- and year-specific. Locate the code on your car’s color data plate or consult a dealer with your VIN to confirm the exact code, ensuring precise color matching for repairs or touch-ups.
