Re: Paint Codes

It should be in the center console. There is a list of RPO codes, basically a bunch of 3 or 4 digit codes. I beleive its the last set of numbers, but Im not 100% on that. Im looking for a pix I have of mine for reference.

Re: Paint Codes

There's nothing there that shows any RPO codes, and if there was, it's gone now. I'm really wanting to know what the original paint color was.

It might also be in the "glove box" in the left rear on the door. The pant codes are on the very bottom line. DrmmerDad's paint code starts out with BCCC (base coat/clear coat) followed by the actual codes WA L9591 U9591, the L and U for two tone paint jobs upper and lower. 9591 should be a bright blue metallic, 98 also comes up to the same color. You can find your color using paint codes and/or chips to order touch-up paint here http://paintscratch.com/
