Help with Paint Code
Hi guys, I don't post much on here if at all but now I need help more than what that little search button can provide. I just bought a 03 E55 and although the car was in immaculate condition the previous owner must have thought the plates in the engine compartment and the door sills must have been an eye sore and removed them..
I am having a hard time trying to figure out the paint color. From a visual I have heard, silver, pewter, champagne, silver/gold... But what I really need is that special code that will truly unlock this secret. I would appreciate any help to point me in the right direction. VIN is WDBUF76J33A327787, if that help.. Thanks in advance

The paint code is also on the plate that is located above the gas cap. Open the filler door and look up above the gas cap. Hopefully, they didn't remove that one too. The paint code should be three digits following the word "lack". If they removed that label, call them up and tell them they're an a-hole for messing with a perfectly fine car.

Looks like
693 Desert Silver Metallic
or
723 Pewter Metallic

Car is most likely Desert Silver (693) which is gold/tan (think most every Camry on the road) or Pewter (723) which has is more gray in it.

No, not everything, the mobile 1 decal is still on the core support and the decals on the inside of the gas lid are still there. Doubt the car was "hot" as I bought it from a dealership but if it was they will have to fight me for it. Not gonna let this beast go too easily lol

Everybody has said there isn't enough room between the outlet and the back of the car to do anything else

Yep, ran a carfax and came back clean. So if anything happened it was not reported. Haven't really had any issues or seen anything questionable other than the decals, and the need for a new S/C tensioner
