Paint by numbers
I need to find out what colour my car is. I know it'* red but the paint supplyer needs to know the code for it. Do any of youz know paint codes? (I sure dont) I looked on the shelf to match it up by year and make, it looks like it is called flame red. I also looked on my build sheet for paint info but I couldn't find anything. I checked the rpo'* in the trunk but it'* hard to make anything out.
As always any help would be great.

Your best bet is to write down your VIN # (or bring title or Insurance card with VIN) into your local GM dealer and ask for a RPO code listing. With that it will tell you your paint code and the factories name for the color.
Good luck, and glad to see you around here once again.

I think my # is U8774. I'm getting the paint from an auto body shop supplier, I think they make the colour the same way a home depot would make house paint colours, buy mixing different colour dies to get it.
I checked the RPO listing in techinfo I found 87A but thats gunmetal metallic, I'm thinking more its more like 81U which is bright red but it also says (96) next to it.
