Re: origional paint color...

On the newer cars, its with the RPOs, outside the regular box of numbers and will start with "wa". ie: wa_xxxx
It will be a 4 digit number after the wa.

Also, within the RPOS, it will be a 2 digit number followed by the letter "U".
Let me know what you find. and then we can take it from their.
