I don't really know but I think it's kinda like a sales promotion thing.

Re: RPO Code help..
My car only has one code on the bottom. And I thought that 92 was the only year for Hawaiian Orchid paint. I even rechecked it a few times, and its definatly 84U. Maybe its a misprint or something.

Maybe,but they usually don't make mistakes on a RPO code list.

Re: RPO Code help..
The car is Black now and was that way when I bought it. But it definatly was Gray. I've had the interior out and its all gray underneath. All color RPO's are #82, which is gray...except for that 84. Its giving me a headache now. I'm searching everywhere to find an anwser. http://s1137.photobucket.com/albums/...=1332631830042

Re: RPO Code help..
In 1986, the code 84U was Medium Gray Metallic. The RPO code was reused by GM and most RPO decoders are incorrect. The L and U represent Lower and Upper.

Re: RPO Code help..
Thank you. I kind of figured but wasn't sure. When I searched the paint code U7782, it said that the code was 84. And I knew about the Upper/Lower codes. But I was going by the RPO decoders on various sites. Thanks again. I can sleep now. lol
