Service VME - Lower Accent Color - Body Cladding Paint Information - appearance basecoat code external identification molding panel trim

When servicing the vehicle with the VIN you entered, the following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the described symptoms.

Some painters continue to have difficulty identifying the correct WA number paint used to refinish the Rendezvous painted lower cladding. A total of five lower accent colors are used with all the exterior colors. The Service Parts Identification Label contains much of the needed information. From the label, determine if the vehicle has option Z17. If Z17 is not listed, the vehicle is likely a CX model and all will use a single color. If the vehicle has Z17, it will also have a WW identifier between WW2 and WW5. The following information converts the WW identifier on the label to a WA number which can be used to identify the correct paint code.

Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed. If these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance. This diagnostic approach was developed for the vehicle with the VIN you entered and should not be automatically be used for other vehicles with similar symptoms.
