Default Need paint code for 98' Arctic White

Anyone know the paint code number for a 98' Arctic White? I need to get my hood painted, and I just purchased this car, and someone tore off the sticker in the glove box. My painter looked up Arctic White for that year, and came up with #wa9567, just wanted to make sure that was right, thanks!!

I'm assuming from your post that you have just recently purchased a '98 in Arctic White. According to your sig you also have a 2001 Speedway White car, correct? Just in case my assumption is incorrect, Speedway White and Arctic White are two very different shades of white. :D

10U is the option code for '98 Artic White. However, to get the color paint you need the "wa" number that is also on the glove box sticker. The number your painter came up with is probably right.

I'd like to help you verify it but as mine is a '99 10U, my "wa" number might be misleading.

I just went out to the garage and looked at my glove box sticker :bb The paint number is on the row below the RPO option numbers and it's not a "wa" prefix; it's a "U" prefix :eek: As in "U 9567" for my '99 born on 10/27/98.

Sorry for the mixup, I should have looked first.

My number may be the same as other 98s and 99s or it may not. Thats why they print the code on the sticker; it can change at any time.

For those that are not aware, there is another option list on the bottom side of the left rear hatch access panel. My '98 Arctic White paint code is BC/CC U 9567... BC/CC = base coat/clear coat...
