    paint color, northstar white?

    is the white paint color on a 97 jap import galant called northstar white? is the jap color same as USA model? i need to do a few touch ups.

    also how hard would it be to paint my car this color? http://www.bmwblog.com/wp-content/uploads/deepGreen.jpg

    i dont wanto go to the professionals and pay over half the price of the car (probably more)

    car was $1540 in us dollars

    it would cost more than the price of the car to change the color professionally. doing it at home will cost only marginally less and will involve at least 100 hours of prep for a novice.

    There should be an information plate on the firewall in the engine bay that denotes the engine number, transmission number, and paint code. If there is nothing there your next best bet is call a dealership with your VIN and ask that you need a touch up paint bottle or something and you need to know the color.

    If it is northstar white the paint code should be: W12
