Default Electron Blue Paint Code 21u

Hey guys,

I am looking to change the paint color of my '02 babydoll from black to the Electron Blue Metallic. The paint guy says his catalog shows the 21U paint code used from 1996-2000 and again from 2004-2006 with different formulas used in each of the two blends, but with the saem 21U code. Can someone with a 2002-2004 Electron Blue vehicle give me the actual numbering off of the dataplate? I know it should probably start with a WA----- style code. I painted my 80 Vette 3 years ago with the same color, but I don't have any paint left to use as a sample and can't remember what code we ended up using to get it right. Thanks in advance!!
