Colorcode Competition Yellow in 1994 ?
I tried to find out the RAL color code for my 1994 competition yellow.
Up to know unfortunately without success :confused:
(I know there should be a sticker somewhere in the center console - but there isn't one...)
If I look in the blackbook that says "53" - however I don't think my paint shop
knows about that color code.
I've heard this colorcode must be 4 digits (starting with 9xxx) and there have been at least two different competition yellows I know of (maybe 3)...
Does anybody out there know the colorcode of the 94 competition yellow ?
Any help would be kindly appreciated.
Happy holidays from Germany!

I checked for stickers even in the storage compartment...

The paint code is a 4 digit code starting with U on the bottom of your center console. :) The paint color code for GM was 53, but the 4 digit one is what tells paint shops how to mix it. :)
p.s.
Since it isn't on your center console, it may be on end of the driver's side door also.

Re: (scorp508)
Just came in from the garage - brrr...pretty chilly outside...
However I checked both doors...no colorcode (just the pressure for the tires,
and the VIN...) :nonod:
Maybe there are other comp. yellow C4 owners outside who have there numbers still in place ?

Any paint shop worth they're weight in paint :D should know. It's not hard for them but they are usually lazy people working there :cuss
If you still cant find the code the paint shop should have a paint matching gun. Basically you set this thing on you hood and it tells them what to mix to get the color. GO TO A GOOD SHOP!!

Importeater,
indeed it looks like the "Yellow jackets" haven't seen this thread up to now.....;)
Anyway, any help with the U9xxx number (exterior color code for competition yellow for 1994) would still be appreciated !

Remind me once you get this figured out and I will add this info to my yellow paint listings. I have all the years yellow was offered, but only the two digit paint code.

Re: Colorcode Competition Yellow in 1994 ? (Ray8)
Just looked at mine and I think the code you need is U9804. Mine was actually in the rear storage compartment (I think the consensus was that they moved these codes after '9x, but I don't remember what that x was...). I also have a bottle of touchup paint and a picture of my RPO code sticker if you'd like to see :D
Hope this helps - :chevy

Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier. I have a Competition Yellow 94, here is my rpo list
It would appear that it is U9804. :D
If there is anything else you need, let me know. :seeya

Re: Colorcode Competition Yellow in 1994 ? (billyhay)
I know you guys are bias, but I am thinking of painting my car fron white to competition yellow in the summer as well, what are your takes on this? My girlfriend thinks I will get tired of the color fast and want the white back. I think it makes the car look fast....but so do the cops! By the way, how much for a paint job? :flag

Re: Colorcode Competition Yellow in 1994 ? (colotocali)
Yellow is a good choice if you ask me. But you're right, I'm bias ! :lol:
You will get much more headturns with this bright color than with white, I think.
You will be seen earlier from other traffic members (which is better, if you drive fast, especially here in Germany at >160mph) - however the cops will see a bright yellow shining thunder coming along the street if you are too fast... :crazy:
Can't say anything about the price of a paintjob in the States.
Yellow is :cool: in my opinion - but this depends....

Sorry, I would have gotten it for you also, but haven't been on since before Christmas. I can confirm that U9804 is on my RPO sheet in the console area also.
