RPO codes are on the inside of the glove box lid

I have the same color - Magnetic Red Metallic II. I got the paint from MidAmerica Motorworks. It comes in a 2 piece set - base coat and clear coat. Ordered as part no. 614-515. You will likely fall off your chair when you see the price.

Codes on mine are on the underside of the left hand lift out panel in the trunk area, not in the glove box.

Autozone had the magnetic red for my 2001 coupe in I think duplicolor line, about $14 perfect match has the pen, brush, scuffer and clear all in one.

Not sure if there is a different Magnetic Red (II)?
