Looking for Silver 1987 FIREBIRD WA Lower Color Number
I am trying to figure out the WA number for the Silver lower stripe on 1987 Firebirds or Formulas...
The WA number is on the bottom of a SPID. The RPO would be 13L, but I need the WA number...
Thanks
John

Re: Looking for Silver 1987 FIREBIRD WA Lower Color Number
John, as best as I can tell, this is what was going on with code 13 Silver for the 3G Firebirds. Also attached is a Firebird SPID from 1987, 1988, and 1989.
1986 13U Upper WA9021 First year for this color (first year for BC/CC on F-Body)
1986 13L Lower WA9005 per PPG and DuPont, but check SPIDs. May have been WA9021
1987 13U Upper WA9021
1987 13L Lower WA9021
1988 13U Upper WA9021
1988 13L Lower WA9534
1989 13U none
1989 13L WA9534
1990 13U none
1990 13L WA9534
Note: Some paint manufacturer charts indicate GM’s WA9021 as 13S, since at that time Corvette was already using a 13 code for Silver. Corvette’s 1985-88 code 13 Silver was WA7781.
Note: Firebird’s WA9021 Silver was used on the 1988-1991 Buick Reatta two-seater but called Sterling Silver, and also the 1996-2000 Corvette but called Sebring Silver.
Note: After 1988, Silver was not available on Firebird as an upper color until 1995. However, it was a different color, now GM paint code WA9566.

Re: Looking for Silver 1987 FIREBIRD WA Lower Color Number
They are all the same color....(wa9021, wa9534, 13, and 13s) On my PPG system, all of those codes show up on the same formula, so I had just listed the first WA code that it came up with.
