Default Help with 04 350z paint

So I'm a little confused on what the actual paint of my car is, 04 350z touring pearl white. I just had my headlights redone and painted glacier pearl. The paint shop called Nissan and they told them its glacier pearl, pikes peak was 06+. My engine bay has qx1 stamped and I found a page in with my manual saying its pikes peak.

I think the actual paint code should be on the door or glove box or something.

I think it's a DOT requirement or something like that. Idk where exactly on the Z. maybe someone knows.

Paint code should be on the driver's side door jamb, and it's QX1, Pike's Peak White. No other white was ever used on the Z's, although that exact same color may be called something else on other models of car by Nissan and/or other makers.

Make sure they paint it properly, its a tri-stage paint job. If they only do a 2 stage it will look terrible.

The only place it says the paint code is the engine bay, nothing on the door jam other than tire info and vin. I would say the headlights were painted right, the shop had to redo them after the first spray. I'm worried about having my bumper and front end painted, the guy is going to spray the front then power polish the whole car hoping to blend it nicely, or he will spray the whole car costing more. Thanks everyone for the help. Picture of the headlights below!
