I am having a problem finding the paint code for my 08 HHR. Here is a photo of the RPO sticker in the glovebox. Can someone tell me what the paint code is? I know its a Red (I am color blind so it makes shades difficult to detect). Thanks.
Everbody that says it is the number after WATER BASED is wrong. It is the code near the end of the string with a "U" (for upper,2-tone will also have an "L") on the end. Then take that number to the chart above to get the WA number. The only problem is the years on the chart seem confusing.
This may have changed sometime in 2006-2007. But, all GM paint has been water based since 1981 (the era of peeling paint).
FYI: the "WATER BASED" is a statement for C.A.R.B.
