Paint code for Dark Penta Metal

Hi there

I hope everyone is enjoying their Kia Sportage - I love mine and have had very few niggles. It's bloody lovely on a long drive.

Sadly, my neighbour's builders damaged the side of my car (without telling me of course - thank goodness for dash cams) and it is being fixed soon at their cost. The repair firm have asked for the paint code and I cannot find where it is - I have looked on the door sills but it isn't there. Does anyone know where I can find this?

Many thanks

Louise

Thank you - this is all very helpful. I looked at the driver side one!

I'll go and check later. Of course - to avoid the builders (who also managed to mark the other side of my car which is also getting sorted) - my car is parked so close to a wall I can't check until I move it...

Honestly I have loved having a new car but the stress of leaving it parked up and getting damaged was not something I ever thought I'd be so paranoid about. I have become that person who leaves the car miles away from the shop doors/pub entrance etc.

... and then find someone still parks closer to you than reasonable! Still, in a tight spot you could use the remote park assist :)
Me and my brother watched incredulously as a car parked really close to mine in a totally empty country pub car park on a quiet Thursday afternoon. He turned to me and said "I'm not jealous of your car now as this would drive me mad."
