For the 1990 firebird, there were three different combinations of white. Here are the color codes as listed by sherwin-williams web site.

WA3967/11 White

WA3967/40 White

WA3967/50 Cameo White

You will find the WA code at the bottom of the RPO code list,

Interesting, I came up with WA 8554 and you should have the RPO of 40U - U stands for Upper. 40L would be Lower if its indeed White.

Interesting, the 8554 was a white that was used on pontiac vehicles from 1991 - present. Whether it was used on the firebirds or not I don't know. The codes that I listed in my post are known to have been used on them.

Here are the two links that I used in the sherwin-williams website to find the color codes that I posted.

http://www.sherwin-automotive.com/fo...car_finder.cfm

http://www.sherwin-automotive.com/fo...car_detail.cfm

I also found the color code that Okfoz mentioned by doing a search under that code.

The code sheet on your car should be on the inside of the lid on the storage compartment on the left side of the cargo area. The color code will be at the bottom of the sheet. If you can't find it, take the VIN code to the dealership and they can tell you what it is.
