Waterbased Paint Code

Strange how 79U doesn’t show up in the 2008 paint code list.
Now WA517Q is the 2008 Merlot , I’ve seen one wagon and one AA5 painted this colour , both 2008’s

I narrowed it down here. If it's an 08, you have one choice for Red... 74U. It always is 2 digits and ends in U.

It sure LOOKS like the code is 74 or something, definitely starting with 7, but it doesn't look like Super Red.
I think it looks exactly like this one and is actually Cardinal Red, which came out in '09.

As posted here , there was excitement in the air for the new colours

I should have said "started changing in 1981" CARB outlawed lacquer so the California plants had to change to water based enamel. And as usuall, the California whackos made everybody change.
