I know this isn't diesel but it is a diesel car.
First question, where is the paint code on my '82 300 TD?
I am having a professional, buff my original paint to try and remove some minor blemishes. He asked what kind of paint it is. He said it is probably either water based enamel or lacquer. Any idea?! He said that it could show buffing swirl marks depending on what the paint is. I would rather have the minor blemishes than see any swirl marks.

Check your owners manual if you have one. It should show where engine, paint and other codes are located
