Tip: Shake thoroughly until you hear the mixing stainless ball for at least 1 min. The first time you use your touch-up pen, practice making lines, shapes or dots on the test paper. Thanks

HI, as you can see we use the WA code for GM models since they used the same code several times through the years.
For an example : color code 972 in 1966 is Ermine White, WA code 2661, however color code 972 in 1968 is Polar White, WA Code 3465. They don't have the same formula.
Another worse example : color code 988 in 1968 is Cordovan Maroon Metallic, WA code 3821, however color code 988 in 1971 is Steel Cities Gray Metallic, WA Code 4150. In 3 years it went from red to grey.
That's why with the WA Code we always get the right formula ! Even GM uses the WA Code. If you are not sure you can Pm me, call me i'll be glad to assist you or even call your GM dealer. Thanks
