Re: Paint codes

Look for a label under the deck lid or on the spare tire cover.

Re: Paint codes

found the service parts list on the spare cover- nothing on the lid- but just a series of numbers and not sure how to determine color code

Re: Paint codes

The paint code IS buried in that series of letters. See old threads about which one or have the dealer look it up by VIN number.

Re: Paint codes

guess I am just stupid- old Chevies and Vettes were easy- code was on plate and easy to find what it stands for- looked up old posts and all seem to indicate that it is # following the BC/CC on last line- that is U 272C on this car- however I can only find in Aurora lit and on its spec lists colors listed as 2 digit like 43, 47 etc- certainly nothing that is close to 272- where can I find a chart with 3 digit paint code?

Re: Paint codes

Take a look for a 2 digit number followed by a U, on the last line of the rpo codes.

Re: Paint codes

Thanks everyone for the info- finally figured it out- the 2 digit # followed by u is 43 and the BC/CC # on the bottom line is 272C- went to local autoparts store and looked in their paint book and found their listing 43/272c was Medium Dark Teal Metallic- was having trouble determining off the swatches in the 97 Sales Brochure if it was the Medium Dark Teal or the Medium Green Metallic
thanks again for help!
Andy
