Paint code help?

My 88 laredo has a few sticker missing off the door..but I've been told the paint code is also on the vin plate under the hood?
Can any help me identify my paint code?

The vin plate is layed out exactly like this!

1JCMLxxxxxxxxxxxx
J530468 12 0101546
140B
BEAL 2QW

Heres a picture of my faded red paint. But you can see the actual color where the flare was.

On our era XJ's, (84-90) the paint code is on the little plate riveted to the drivers side corner of the engine bay. The paint code is above the VIN. The VIN is on the bottom of the plate, so look for the code printed above the VIN in the middle.

HE4/BE is the actual paint code from the factory, thats what would be on your sticker if it was still there. My xj is chili pepper red so my paint code is PEA. Best I can do for you is go here www.paintscratch.com. When I searched for 1988 jeep cherokee the only red they offered that year was the colorado red.
