That appears to be the correct number

Re: looking for a paint code

I have seen the "U" put in paint code numbers before, not sure what is means but your number should be WA9806

Maybe this would help:

That's awfully strange-looking for a paint code (WAU9806), but I'm by no means an expert

Re: looking for a paint code

I've never seen a paint code like that from GM. From what I know, GM just numbers their paint colors very simply. If you order it from the parts department, the code should simply be "48". Sometimes it is 48U or 48L, but on Camaros that doesn't matter. The U just stands for Upper and the L stands for Lower.

Come to think of it, I can't think of any car that uses different colored paint except those late 80s or early 90s pickup trucks that faded from one color to the next.
