I don't think you can tell from the vin but on your door sticker there should be the code. Then just look it up on google.

The door jam sticker should tell exterior color code and interior I think. There's also a color code ID plate on the passenger side bed rail underneath the plastic rails.

You can tell it from vin. Call the dealershiop, give then the vin, and they can tell you. Thats what my body shop did when I got my superduty tailgate painted.

Punch your vin in here http://www.compnine.com/vid.php , it will tell you your paint code (along with everything else about your truck)

So say if I need to repaint my front surround, could I go to lowes and have them make the same color paint as my truck?

I doubt lowes can do it. Oreillys maybe, my local oreillys can mix paint

I should find out if mine does that, I just started there so if they do it looks like I'm going to be painting my truck for cheap.
