Dark Bright Teal Metallic (37U) help

I am going to be painting my front bumper in class but I need some help. I don't have a sticker on my door with all of my paint information. All I have to go off of is the RPO codes and pics for you. I'll be using PPG paint, two stage and I need to know any necessary information for this job. I'll be going somewhere like House of Kolors to get the paint, primer, reducer, hardeners, and other things I need.

37Q : MOLDING COLOR, DK BRIGHT TEAL MET
37U : EXTERIOR COLOR, PRIMARY (DARK BRIGHT TEAL METALLIC) (92)


I've found one other thread that was useful to me, but the picture in his signature did not look like the correct color. This is a picture of my paint. I don't really want to rely on internet pictures though because all cameras are different.


Do you think the paint shop will have all the information I need? I ask because I did not find my color's name in the 1992 GM paint swatch book we have at school.

Try this one. Cross refernece the WA # just to be sure. Should be on your RPO sticker in the lower left corner.

Edit- your color is in the 2nd column near the bottom.
