Colorworks and VIN#

[jmichou]

Hi there,
I need to do some paint work on my bumper and a friend of mine asked me to call Colorworks. I called them for a quote and the guy asked me to send him a picture of the bumper which needs to be painted as well the VIN# of my vehicle.
I was surprised when he asked me for the VIN# of my vehicle.
Is there any reason why he would require the VIN# of my car?

Thank you in advance.

The vin number will likely tell him the paint code. Different paints likely cost different amounts.
