Chevrolet paint codes
On a Chevrolet, the factory paint code is printed on the Service Parts Identification (SPID) label in the glovebox — the paint appears as an RPO-style code (e.g. GAZ) alongside a WA paint number on many years. It identifies the exact color the car was born with — a respray never changes it. 5 documented colors below with their codes and finishes; swatches are representative.
