Soo...I have searched the forums, but it's not clear how to find the paint code for the grey trim on my 2004 Expy. I know the main paint code is L2 (True Blue Met), but what about the trim? I looked at the label, but cant figure it out...is is 74? If so, that turns out to be nothing on line.

Toms89: Yes, it's True Blue Met (Paint Code: L2), but it's the outside trim (or cladding) that I am looking for.

6K-Watts: I included a pic of my door jam label and only see one Paint Code for L2

Hey, I just noticed you are based out of Langley, AFB? My son is stationed there...the outside trim is painted gray. I do not have the plastic cladding that eventually fades away. It's similar to the painted trim on your EB, but grey. I have an XLT.

Update: Talked to my local dealer...he had a hell of a time trying to figure out what's the paint code. After lots of cross referencing he came up with Paint Code: CX or Dark Shadow Grey

Honest I did read your post. lol.... but it did not register. Wife would tell me I am "geezing".

Glad you and the dealer could figure it out.

He's an E-3 (rank) cyber security specialist.

i would advise for him to get all the training...creditials...experience...degree...and get out unless he REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY loves the AF...that career field makes money on the outside and i'm sure they tried to recruit him right after tech school...to me the overall goal is to make nice living...it can be done in the military...but that skillset can literally take him around the world in the private sector...there are a lot of changes that has many of us thinking is it worth staying in...theyre trying to take our retirements and not pay it until 65...thats one of the main benefits of doing 20 yrs...the young airman need to really pay attention to the changes coming down and being proposed to prepare themselves in the event they get rifted...many have the "it wont happen to me" and not prepare themselves...i keep waiting for my dream to play the lottery and hit the $300M dollar payout...lol
