Help: What colour is my car!?

I urgently need to know what the colour of my 1992 corolla csi is as I want to buy touch up paint and am not sure of what the colour is.
It is the same colour as that tony rigoli corolla with the 4agte 20. As well as the ae92 in http://www.4age.net/tech/bestcorolla/index.htm
There are quite a few chips in it at the moment and I really need to paint them before they start rusting.
And after finding out the colour where would I be able to buy some touch up paint??
Thanks in advance

If it's the original paint colour then it should be printed on a badge on the firewall inside the engine bay, or in your manual sometimes

On the badge on the firewall it merely says "MW" next to the word paint. Is that some sort of paint code?

Any automotive paint place should be-able to help, just take the car to them and they'll match it.
Yes that is a paint code

That option sounds expensive?? Anyone have a rough idea on pricing for an automotive paint place to match the colour of my car and put it in a can??
I'd much rather work out what colour the "MW" stands for and go out and buy a can of touch up paint.

dude...is your car green or blue?
coz the ex-rigoli 12.1sec corolla was light metallic blue, but the car on the 4age.net is light metallic green.
if the paint code is 'MW' - go to an auto paint store, get them to quote you on getting a can of touch up spray made up, and while you're there, you'll find out what the colour is called...
then you can go to Sprints, or whatever, and see if they have your colour...
try Paint Supplies of S.A. (08) 8347 7171 for the colour, you could prolly ring them and ask them what it's called by giving them the paint code..they're usually pretty okay..
cheers

and a can of touch up paint is not "expensive", it's usually bloody cheap.
of course, metallic is slightly more

if your going to use protec paints then go see All Type Paints in Salisbury Plains. Speak to Graham and tell them Scott send you. They will look after you. Also provide colour matching
