This IS the Electron Blue Paint Code!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

21U is the Electron Blue ordering Code (RPO) That number means nothing to an auto body or paint shop.

Give the body shop the VIN and they can get an exact match.

Why make this simple question so f%^$ing confusing?????????????

The dude asked for the EB paint code, we gave it to him, there are NO varations of Electron Blue by the way and your VIN and gonna tell an auto body shot a dam thing about what color your car is.......

If the Auto body guy does calls a GM dealer an someone runs the VIN for him to tell him the color, you know what it's gonna tell them? The Color, Electron Blue. That's it. The guy asking the question here already knows that much.

AND, how do you know his VIN is for an Electron Blue car??

The answer to the post was given, the paint code was supplied.

Why do so many people on this forum try to make things so difficult?

Ahh, the paint code for Lemans Blue Metallic is WA-933L and the RPO code for the paint is 19U not 21U, but yes you are right they call it luxo blue metallic. I am sure any dealer parts dept can match the paint with either code.
