Paint code should be 28 (may be U28).

hmm, the website says:
"GM, Chevy, Cadillac, GMC, Geo, Saturn, Pontiac and any other General Motors usually have a prefix of "WA", "BC/CC", or "U" and are four digits long. Also 2-3 digit number called a secondary number may accompany this one. May look like this WA8524 52U. Paint code locations will vary."

If you want to be absolutely sure, hurry up and call the local gm dealership parts dept. with your vin code. They will give you the "wa" number which is usually 4 digits long or 3 digits and one letter. Most dealerships will only keep info on cars no more than 5 years old though.

Check the option sticker list on a rear compartment lid or glove compartment door. The code is 4 digit alpha numeric and will be on the last line.
I think it is 352E but not sure. Not near my car to find out for you.

On this site is just says the paint code is N/A (not available)

For the 28U RPO (Navy Blue Metallic) in 2000 it lists the paint code as WA-9567 but I cant tell you for sure if the 1999 and 2000 NBM's are exactly the same.
Here is that link for the 2000. You may want to bookmark this site, its VERY useful.

I think that the 2000 will be just fine. I'm not actually using the paint for touch up, i just modified my radio surround and i want to paint it to match the exterior. A shade off wont be noticable since it doen't butt up against the water fall.
Thanks guys, this forum is great!
