I don't know who is to tell you the truth. I don't know how much difference there is between the TA and the Camaro when it comes to paint. I am guessing they would be the exact same, but why would they be named differently?

RPO codes don't lie, so I went with Arctic White vs. Bright white.
did he look at his rpo's? maybe the window sticker was wrong...arent they just typed up on a computer anyway...maybe someone mistyped it or something...

Re: Car color?

if i had to choose b/t one, i would choose the rpo. if i was a dealer i could sell you a ws6, and it will have thr rpo...but say its a ws6 super extreme-o, coolest car on the road package. and have that on the sticker too...so which would you go by then?





and yes i realize thats extremely retarded, but it makes my point fairly well.

Re: Car color?

You can always go to a Specialty Paint Store, one that deals with vehicle paint and have your car scanned.... It will show the properties of the paint and they could match it... Then you will be sure what paint your have....
