The paint codes are listed below the RPO codes under the console lid, for example:

So the Base Coat would be WA-L8774 and the clear coat would be U8774???
or is that U = Upper and L = Lower
and what is the 10T and the 732?

I am trying to determine mine and I have different numbers but the same setup or order as in the above picture that @65Z01 posted.

Thanks in advanced
Don

Looks like the U and L stand for upper and lower as mine are both bright red.
In the Corvette Black Book the OEM exterior code for bright red is 81 (confusing) and interior code for Red Leather is 732. So I'm guessing the 10T is for clear coat.

Ahhhh, ok.

So mine, being "bse/clr coat WA- L7719 U7719" is also stated in the RPO codes as 18L and 18U which is Medium Gray Metalic
