Paint Code
I've looked in the door posts, on the doors, under the hood and deck lid but can't find a sticker with paint code. The car is a 05 Coupe, Arctic White.

The "W" (or "U") code is the REAL DuPont paint code...10U is a generic GM code for Arctic White.

The code shows a little different. The last line of the block of codes reads 1S7 10U
and then below that is:
BC/CC U9567
I'm assuming the U9567 is the Dupont paint code.
Thank you for the info JmpnJckFlsh.

10U

It might have been an application change on the 10U instead of an actual paint change. All I can remember is that it was supposed to create a better finish on the Arctic White cars and it was after mine was built.

Brett, your car has the exactly the same paint as SSD's...10U is only the GM code. For example, the "Arctic White" paint formula could change slightly and the "U" code will be different, but the 10U GM code will remain the same.
