[DeTomaso] Color Code - Paint

[Charles McCall]

That's probably not a bad idea. My shop did the whole panel, but you could
tell when comparing that panel to the rest of the car that something was
different. I think you really do need to paint a whole side, despite the
cost.

Even if you had the code, pearlescent paints are almost impossible to  
match. That's why body shops always have to do a panel to panel blend for
these  
types of paints. Some of the really good shops insist on doing the whole 
side  because it is so difficult.

Trip - 

I imagine that your car is the same color as mine - I have a  Pearl White 
'85 GT5-S. 

The short answer to your question is "no".  

There is no paint code. 
There is no substitute.
