The paint code on my 90 240sx is 526. The color of my car seems to be the same as those who have the AG2 paint code, Aztek red.

When I look up the codes on a paint match website, 526 comes up as Hot Red, AG2 comes up as Aztec Red Clearcoat. The samples shown are identical in shade. Is it possible what was sold in the US is listed different than what was sold in Canada?

Just wondering as I'm probably going to get some Sunset Red rustoleum/tremclad to fix my rear quarters in the spring.

Cheers,

or maybe in 91 they changed the color name? In 89-90 its 526, 91+ its AG2?
