Default Paint code question

Stupid question. I assume my car is polo green, but where is the paint code found on these things? Mine is a 1995. I am trying to figure out if the paint code is 45/WA9539 or 91/WA9529. Thanks -Mike

Is the Service Parts Identification sticker on the car? Locations would be under the console lid, glove box, or the underside of the passenger side storage compartment lid.

The bottom printed line on that decal will have the WA number. Up in the list of RPO codes, there would be 45U for Polo Green Metallic.

The paint code 91U is Bowling Green Metallic, but that code was only for 1990 and 1991 cars. The color was slightly darker that the BGM color in the later years.

Thank you good sir. I'll check. I assumed it was in the door jamb. I was obviously wrong.

For your year, the color should be "Polo Green II" (RPO 45U, code 9539)...

Cheers,
