Olds cutlass paint code question

[11spaceships]

Soo I have an 85 cutlass supreme, landau top, coupe. I was looking for the exterior and interior color codes and came across this on the service parts tag:

DIS.LACQUER WA-L8592 A8589

I know WA8592 is dark metallic blue and that is correct. Does anyone know what "dis.lacquer", the "L" between WA 8592, and A8589 mean? I tried looking and searching but couldn't figure out what they meant. I attached the service tag in case it helps explain it better.

Is your car two tone. my car has a "L" paint code for lower and an "U" paint code for upper.

You need the code numbers off of the cowl tag. Those are the correct codes for paint and interior colors. And yes, it will have a L and possible a U in front of the numbers. The next line should be the interior color. If you go on TCP Globals website they have a color library that will give you all the info. If you cant find it post the code numbers and I''ll get the info for you.

thanks for the help!

EME_Mack: no it's not two tone. It looks like it had a pinstripe at one point tho.

Mikester: cool I'll check that and let you know if I need more help.

Now that youve posted this question, let us know what you find out. The cowl plate is pretty simple to decipher.

Yea will do. Where exactly is the cowl plate located? On the firewall or on the bottom of the hood?

 

[mikester]

Open the hood. It should be on the drivers side. Small metal plate with the VIN #

Cool thanks

Sooo cowl plate isn't there. All I have to go on is the trunk tag

The internet is your friend. lol. According to the TCP site youre correct about the color code. On the second page of 1985 GM colors the numbers 8589 mean gold pinstripes. Right before the number are the letters WASL. Also shown for the striped tape is 55A which is the last thing on the third row of your door label.
Im surprised theres no cowl tag under the hood. Are you 100% sure you didnt miss it ? There would be 4 holes in a small area if one was there and for some reason it was removed. Pretty sure the VIN # is also on it.
