got an 07 Vue 3.5 for 2k, heard these are the Honda Pilot 3.5 engine and trans so figured with 170k it had more life (yes im aiming for 300k like i've gotten from an SL2)

all it needs is a new fender and ac compressor. for the fender, i can't for the life of me match the paint code by looking...the door jamb label is ripped off completely

its like a faded metallic green/gray? title says gray but its greenish gray

looks like this one attached

 

I just ran into this on mine, and it was on the drivers side rear door jam. I'd read that it was in the spare tire area, but it wasn't there on mine.
Edit* I see you mentioned the missing strip on the door jam. So coincidentally, I was calling for a color matched door skin from an auto salvage yard, and before I could tell the woman the code, she said if I didn't have it she could pull it up from the vin number.

 

yeah the door jamb sticker was ripped completely so can't see it

i used VIN lookup tools and it just said gray

i just found that its Storm Gray and got paint. thanks tho

 

very good, keep us up to date on whether it was a strait forward match.

 

we'll see, the fender i got has all coats on it so i just got the base color + clear coat aerosols, and based on the pics i saw of 'storm gray saturn vue 07' im sure its a match
only issue is rest of the body is so old that the fender will look super shiny compared to the rest

 

sounds like someone has some detailing to do.

 

Get a buffer and a can of polishing compound!
