paint code BS

[93zierra]

Hey guys I've been tryin to find the paint match for my truck for 2 years on and off. I've tried the color samples at oreilly's and the closest thing I came up with was a 2004 Audi yellow. I ran my paint code and it comes up "Special Paint". My truck is a 1993 gmc. It is yellow. I was wondering did gm use other production gm colors off of maybe a different car? Or does "special paint" mean that i may never figure it out? Thanks for the help guys.

BASECOAT/CLEARCOAT WE9416 I can't remember which 3 letter rpo code is also a paint code.

it is the code with a "U" after it...not before it
Should be two digits and then the "U"

Special paint would be something like a fleet vehicle, think Penske trucks. The color codes don't work with those.
