Zimmer Paint Codes
List of Zimmer paint codes from the door jamb production plates.
UPDATED: August 27, 2026
While no official information has surfaced as to which paint supplier's codes these are, it's now believed that Zimmer made up these codes, but based them on the manufacturers own codes.
The hope is that by listing the known codes that someone, somewhere, may be able to make a cross reference to paint supplier/color that can then be used today.

The color listed after each code for a particular car is based current photos of the car. It is, of course, possible that the car has been repainted at some point, but as evidenced by two different cars, appearing the same color, with the same paint code, confidence is pretty high that the colors are correct.
