The paint code is on a stamped metal plate under the cowl grate on the passenger side. It should also be on the option tag under the hood but sometimes they fade out.

Not sure which color is yours but from the 1993 Dealer Service Manual . . . .

Dark Silver Metalic - CC = KS7
Dark Arctic Grey - CC = MS9

(CC = Clear Coat)

Hope this helps.


EDIT ~

Regarding the Vehicle Code Plate found on the top right side of the cowl below the cowl grille :

The second line of alpha/numerics = Counting from the BOTTOM up

- The 1st three digits is the Paint Proceedure,
- The next group of four digits is the Primary Paint,
- The third group of digits is the Secondary Paint,
- The forth group is the Interior Trim Code.
- The last group of that string is the Engine code.



BTW, WELCOME to our forums.

I have the same scheme on my 92 and had the same problem finding codes. Another member here (flashgordon) also has the same and provided me with the following info. I haven't tried to get paint yet so I can't vouch for it.
"RED IS A KS7 OR PS7
SILVER IS A HE4 OR PE4. BOTH ARE THE SAME, ONE IS A SALES CODE AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE EITHER ON IS."
