I'm trying to find out for sure what color my Lumina is. A piece of paint flaked off while I was washing it and I want to touch it up.

My code is U 203C. I did some searching and found a 1999 GM paint code list, which lists it as Dark Torreador Effect, and I found someone claming the 1997 code list calls it Carmine Red Metallic.

Problem is my car is a 98, and I cant find a 98 paint code list.

Heres a picture for the hell of it (obviously its the one on the left)

Anybody have a paint code guide or know what color it is?

Check with your local auto paint supplier. When I needed to do some repairs on my old '96 I learned that the color code I had was for 3 different colors, depending upon month it was assembled. I didn't get lucky the first time. The PPG guide verified it and still didn't help pick the right color.
