Why it so hard to find The Paint Code Bottom aero dams silver

This is a 1989 ( Slobber ) My 1986 is the same color. I'd like the repaint it I can't find the silver code to the bottom of ground effects anywhere. 30 minutes on google? Also, any suggestions on those silver Rims below my are Black I LOVE the silver color better. Thank You for any info you can spare! This is my fantasy end point for my1986. My Interior is Mint even the automatic counsel isn't separated jaw drop.

U may end up having a paint store scan the surface for the silver to produce the correct colour paint.

Re: Why it so hard to find The Paint Code Bottom aero dams silver

Conflicting paint codes appeared for searches. But the paint is called Silver Poly. I found the code of WA8536 for 1983. In 1985 the code was WA7448; again, called Silver Poly.

Mantaguy You Rock!! Thank you for Checking on it ..
Man, I'd hate to ask but is the 1989 paint code the same 13 silver paint code? (See blue 1989 TA in pic at top)
