Paint codes

hello all, im wondering if anyone had this same problem:


I have a 84 Cutlass Supreme Brougham im restoring and cant seem to decipher the paint code. I don't know if it washed off or is just hiding in all these numbers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looking at what you posted and what I have found on the interwebs I appears that the paint information is missing. It usually resides on the bottom of the SPID label. Sort of looks like Dark Autumn Maple Metallic:

Welcome chicutlassguy. I went through my book of codes and looked up what's on the sticker. I didn't come up with a code for the paint, but I did come up with this:


77D 1976-2000 Trim Combination Woven Velour Dark Maple
77I 1976-1998 Interior Trim Dark Maple
78T 1976-1999 Vinyl Top Color Dark Maple Red Met


I also see that your car is a V6, turbo 250 trans and 2.41 rear.


If none of this is correct than my book isn't worth a hoot.

Thanks slantflat and chrisneu, it is def a v6 and the top color sounds right, I'm not that familiar with the trans and differential...

I have a list of paints that are very close, but I want to get the right one.
