Does anyone know where to look for the car's paint code? My painter said it should be in the glove box. There is a bunch of numbers in there. What will it look like?

 

usually 2 numbers followed by a letter, usually U

 

it's on the very last line of the label in the glovebox. It's a "U" followed by some numbers.

 

Going by your picture you have either

Millennium Yellow U79

or

Velocity Yellow U45

This is in your glove box

 

Profile says VY, which is 45U.

 

What do the other numbers on that tag refer to?

 

On the tag in my car, those are options the car was built with.

Thanks!!!

 

Of course! I looked at that tag in my car and could not read the numbers because the tag was affixed on the horizontal and I did not pay attention to the numbers.

Yes, you must be correct.. Thanks for providing the obvious..

 

Paint codes:
Velocity Yellow: WA300N
Millennium Yellow: WA423G

RPO codes:
Velocity Yellow: U45
Millennium Yellow: U79

 

The paint code and the RPO code for the color are two different things.

 

WA is for the paint mix code
RPO is for touch up paint

 

GM labels them a little differently in the order book for 2007 vettes.

They call 45U the color code, and WA-300N is the Touch Up Paint Number.
