Default Bilstein shock yellow paint match

My upper front shock tubes were spotted with rust. The lower shock part was still good. I found out that I can't source the OEM Bilstein Delco decals and since this is a low mile GS, I wanted to keep the stock shocks with the correct decals. The color match is called Chrysler Stinger Yellow or Jeep Baja Yellow (same color). In the picture, the lower tube is original and the upper part is re-painted. I had a local auto paint supplier match it and put it in a rattle can for me.

I would think they actually provided a 'paint code' to you also. Might it have been 'PYV' ?
