2013 MS3 Rear valence paint code

[DuoofDeath1]

Hello all,

I was thinking about getting my 2012 rear valence painted to replicate the 2013 style. I have it plastidipped black now but I just picked up a set of gunmetal rx8 wheels and think the 2013 bumper style would look better. Dealership said they would do it cheap for me but i am looking for the paint code so they don't just go painting it whatever "looks" close to whatever picture they find. They don't have one in stock to match against and some pictures make the valence look black and some make it look gunmetal sort of like the 2013 oem wheels which is what i want. If i order a 2013 bumper, it will not come in painted so there has to be a paint code somewhere for it.

Any assistance would be appreciated,
Greg

good question I was wondering that as well.. You could always just wrap the bottom matte black

The color is molded in on the valence. I have read that the color is Graphite Mica.

Update to anyone interested. I got this response from Mazda's Corporation Rep

"Thank you for taking the time to contact Mazda.

To answer your question, regarding the paint code for the lower valence on the 2013 Mazdaspeed3 bumper this is a Sherwin-Williams based paint and the code is # 7-2-2454-00."

Should be the same color for the front grille, too.
