okay, I was wrong. Maybe my car isn't lapis blue but midnight blue. My paint code on the sticker under the hood is L39C. There are 4 figures in this code, not three (which is what I found at first). Anyone know which is correct? Do paint codes have 4 or 3 alphanumerics in them?

L39C comes back as Midnight Blue Metallic in the paint chart.
Some have 3 letters and some have 4, there are even some with only 2... but to get the right one for your car you have to match them up :-)
