Paint codes??
 
Hi All,
wondering if anyone can help me?
I'm looking for the paint codes for 'Victory Red' as well as the 'champagne' looking colour which runs along the bottom half of the doors on the two tone 98 Suburbans?
I'm having some parts painted and this would make it alot easier to get the correct coloured paint.

Thanks

Howard

I use this site. It tells you were the paint code will be. Most likely should be with the rest of the RPO codes in the glove box.

Might have to give them a call....thanks.
As I live in Australia....I can't just duck down to the nearest body shop and have them order the colours from the supplier.
I'm really after the code a paint manufacturer/mixer uses so my painter can try to mix the same here.

Ahhhhh...here..how's this for results?

The paint code for the "Champagne" color is 11U / WA 382E

The paint code for Victory Red is 74U / WA 9260

You'll need both the paint code and the WA numbers to have a local shop mix them correctly for you. The "Champagane" color is called Pewter Metallic by GM, but when you have it mixed, they will most likely be a variance in color whereas, Pewter Metallic has about 6 Variation Codes in the mixing formula.

Thanks very much for that.
Might be easier just to have my painter match it then, as there are variances from the factory.
