On a side note, does anyone know a good place to get the spray cans instead of the touchup bottle?

Okay, I found the code inside the glove box. It is U817K and is listed as water based. I was hoping the car had a base coat/clear coat system. I have not shot water based paints before so unless there is a bc/cc alternate I will be learning to shoot water based paint. Any experience out there with this?

Thanks for all the responses...

Make Note: The color code will be located on a sticker named Parts Identification. The code can start with BC/CC followed by a U, or a WA with a four digit number/letter combination. We use the WA format for simplicity, your code may have a U. WA8555 is the same as U8555.
Color Code Color Description Vehicle Part
WA403P / 37 Imperial Blue Met Exterior
WA411P / 75 Techno Gray Met Exterior
WA8555 / 41 Black Exterior
WA8624 / 50 Olympic White Exterior
WA913L / 56 Sunbrst Ornge Ii Met Exterior
WA9260 / 74 Victory Red Exterior
WA929L / 15 Cashmere Met Exterior
WA994L / 67 Lt Tarnshd Silvr Met Exterior

I would think Dark Gray would be the Techno Gray. The paint code can be found inside the glove box.
