I know my question concerns something way newer than what the site is about, but I figured maybe you guys might he able to help...


I will be needing to repaint my '89 Chevy 2500 Scottsdale, which was originally built as a Cab & Chassis, and fitted with a Reading utility body.

It was painted red.

The paint code (?) from the sticker inside the glovebox is one of the following:

WA-L 8832 U 8832

7810

Does anyone know if any of these number correspond to a GM paint color, and if so ,which color ?

I've ditched the utility body and replaced it with a '98 fleetside pick-up box, which is a lighter shade of red...I need to paint everything to match once the warm weather returns.

The "original" paint on the cab (door jambs and all) appears to be a regualr red enamel, not a metallic or BC/CC...

Any ideas ?


Thanks...
