dodgethis Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 I was going to get some touch up pain for the hood on the lumina. My question goes to all my lumina owners. Where are you guys finding the code to match it up to duplicolor? I look in trunk and I do have the sticker under it that has the RPO codes but it didn't list the U code or L code. I wouldn't have two trim color on the car, as it's all one color. I was going to check my Vin# from compnine's website, but they are down. Anyone know of a good website, or would I do better to just call a dealer? Quote
3pt1lumina Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 Underside of the trunk lid. It will be a code such as 32U...most likely the 5th or 6th from the end of the RPO codes. Underneath that, seperately, there will be a WA code such as WA121A The first code is for the actual code itself, the WA code is for the correct tint used on your car. My light adriatic blue on my 96 has two WA codes, one that is my car and one that has far too much magenta in it. I learned that the hard way... It's a bad pic but follow my sad arrows and you can see the rough area's of what I'm talking about. I took this on my 97 just now with a flashlight Quote
dodgethis Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Posted January 1, 2010 3.1lumina, Thanks for the pic. The Thing is, I have the same sticker under the lid of the trunk. I just dont have the WA number. I am lost because neither a U code or anything is on the sticker. Any ideas? Quote
chevyguy8893 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 I may be able to pull the RPO code list for you car off of GM's VIS site for you, it sometimes doesn't work for older cars. I still haven't figured out the cutoff year for the site, it didn't work for my 97 bonneville but it has worked for older carsI can check it for you if you post your VIN, Only if you feel comfortable posting it.

3pt1lumina Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 I forgot about having VIS.... I can get it too if chevyguy8893 can't. Like he said, just need either the last 8 digits or the entire thing. (it's up to you). And I was able to get all of my RPO codes for it the U code will definitely be there. There are 2 stickers, you sure you're not missing looking at one of them? Although, it is possible the sticker may be gone if the deck lid has ever been replaced. Quote
carkhz316 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 Look for a BC proceding the number (Base/ Clear) Quote
mfewtrail Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 Go here: http://www.compnine.com/vid.php Type in your vin, then scroll through the RPO code results until you find the listing for your exterior color. That link came from the thread stickied at the top of this section by the way... http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php?topic=83604.0 Quote
dodgethis Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Posted January 2, 2010 Thanks guys, I'll try compnine. Hey chevyguy8893, and 3.1lumina i'll PM the VIS to you if compnine doesn't work for me. Quote
dodgethis Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Posted January 4, 2010 I went on compnine, and I got to say that site has cool info on the car. Here is snapshot of what I have found about the color of the vehicle. So I am gold, not driftwood metallic correct? Quote
3pt1lumina Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 PM me your VIN... I will get you a VIS, it will tell you some really cool stuff, too. But it will tell me the exact name for you. Quote
