wa 8554 is white If I remember correctly all of the color in gloves boxes with the "E" after the numbers were special colors. I will tell you the color here in a minute. Let me ponder for a minute.
its white
401E is dark green metallic
damn.. im gonna take a picture of mine so yall can tell me mine..
Ducky, your truck looks like a wa391E, look in your glove box for that color
So 51 is black, right?
41u is black or wa8555
this is the code that I saw inside my truck... BC/CC U391E
Storm Grey Metallic. Just put it in google search as "paint code U391E" and you'll find it.
storm gray metallic... sounds hardcore.Quote:

yeah I know. the guy that did the paint before said I have this maroon ish pearl in the paint.. how do I know which one it is though?Quote:
