In the glovebox. 2 digit # usually followed by a U. Ex- Summit White = 50U. Dark Chrarcoal Grey Metallic = 69U

It can also start with WA. WA numbers are more specific also.

...u8555 "onyx black"...for example..change first letter "u" to "wa" so it can be brought up in formula "wa8555"...this should come up in any paint system...most gms start with "u" they must be converted to "wa"...

hope this helps...also you'll probably want to color chip "variance chips" to your vehicles color, outside...
