Anybody know where to find the Paint Code Sticker?
I checked where the Paint Touch-up manufacture said it's located, nothing there. Googled it and checked that location, nothing there.
Also, my car color is Lake Elkhart Blue. Every Touch Paint company I check, only lists two Blue colors for my 2021, Rapid Blue and Rhythm & Blue Metallic.
I don't see any paint from Chevrolet called Rhythm & Blue Metallic.
Sorry for the blurred image but the paint code is listed under the scan code on a label affixed to the driver's door. My car is Arctic White which is paint code 9567 as shown on the left side under the scan code.
Rhythm & Blue Metallic is probably the "official" color for Elkhart Blue used by GM. They have different color names for the same shad depending on model. Get the door code and you will be good to go.
The GM paint code is right there under your QR code on your Certification label.
You can scan the QR code with your phone and the result will also show you the paint code (along with other RPOs).
GM has "corporate" color names and divisional "merchandising" color names. Chevy can call the color whatever they want, and Cadillac can call the very same color whatever they want.
When somebody asks me about their paint code or other build data, I pull out my All C8 Corvette Colors, Codes & Quantities reference book. Great info. https://www.google.com/search?client...h=711&dpr=1.25
I found my code, but what I don't understand is the paint color name. Corvette calls it Lake Elkhart Blue, but all but one of the touchup paint companies call it Rhythm and Blue. I looked at the site you sent and still don't see the Rhythm and Blue color name. I ordered the Rhythm and Blue anyway.
Just go to the dealer's parts counter with your VIN and they can give /sell you the correct touch-up paint.
Just? It's a thousand times easier just going out to your car and looking at it. Who wants to go to the dealership parts counter when they don't have to?

Agree, made that mistake only once getting touch up paint for my C5 Z06 from a Chevrolet dealership, I use the following vendor for any touch-up paint needs:
A name is a name.
A code is a code.
The PAINT code provided above by Zymurgy is correct. 625D or WA625D. That is the PAINT code that you want.
Forget the name. GM has played the NAME game for many years.
Remember Hugger Orange on Camaro and Chevelle from the early '70s?
Corvette called it Monaco Orange.
Pontiac called it Carousel Orange.
And when Camaro brought back the exact same color in 1976, it was called Medium Orange.
Forget about the name. The code is king.
And don't confuse the Regular Production Order (RPO) code (GS7) for a PAINT code. GS7 is an ORDER code that the dealer uses to ORDER the car in that color.
Again, get a great refernce book to help out (I have a few and I use his books a lot more than I ever thought I would. Lot's a guys bs-ing about what they got):
