Polo Green Metallic is code 48. 9,464 Camaros were painted that color for model year 1996.

There were two other "greens" or "green blues" for 1996 too: code 37 Bright Teal Metallic ( 3,912 units) and Mystic Teal Metallic code 79 (extremely rare, only 637 units). Without seeing your car, you probably have Polo Green Code 48.

For model year 1996, GM made 44,003 Camaros with automatic transmissions, which was RPO code MX0, retail price $790.00.
Total Camaro production for 1996 was 61,362.

(FYI, a great book to pick up is Camaro White Book, by Mike Antonick. It has all the production codes, production numbers, options, etc for all models of Camaro 1967-2002)

If any other owners want to know the numbers, option codes etc for their model year, feel free to ask, I'm happy to look it up in the book!

how sure are you that its 48? my father went to get a paint price, and they said that was the code for a cream colored 96 caddilac or something. doesnt it start with a WA####?

I'm 100% sure it is code 48, according to the Camaro White Book. GM uses two digit codes for its paint (for example, my Firehawk is code 41 - Black). According to the book, the only time GM used letter codes for paint on Camaros was in 1967 & 1968. If your Camaro is a 1996, and its green, its wearing code 48 paint. Somebody at the body shop is misinformed. Also, check your door label or the one inside your glove box (the location seems to vary according to year). The label that is called "service parts identification" will have a code for paint color listed on it.

If anyone has a polo green camaro look in your glove box and there should be a white sticker at the bottom of the sticker it should say

WA *****

*= 4 numbers and a letter
