Paint Codes
I recently got in a small accident where I had to swerve and ended up scraping my MS sides, and wheel. I have a friend at a bodyshop that can repair it, but I want to get him the paint codes. I have searched and found the paint code to the Titanium Gray Metallic in this thread, https://www.rx8club.com/medcentermazda-64/rx-8-paint-codes-16310/
....but I also need the paint code to the dark gray part of the ms sides. I really want the whole car to match, and don't want them to use some random dark gray color. If anyone knows the code, PLEASE tell me! Thanks.

Probably better if you don't have to. 
Do body guys really go by paint codes? I thought they used a gizmo to measure the color, and mixed stuff for an exact match. After a car has a few years on it the original color does not quite match.

Why are you're MS sides darker than the rest of your car? I'm not sure, but it sounds like you have the MS sides in Galaxy Gray. Also, you're paint code is on the sticker on the drivers side passenger door.
