WA517Q/79 is the factory code for Merlot Jewel Prl B/C, offered on GM vehicles from 2008 to 2012. It appears under more than one name over the years — the table has each year's exact listing. Give a paint supplier the code, not the colour name.
Check it's really your code: on a Chevrolet it's in the glovebox on the SPID label (Service Parts Identification) — not the door jamb. Look for a line starting
BC/CC or a WA-prefixed code.GM paint codes come in two forms: a short factory code (like 50U) and a WA number (like WA8555). Paint suppliers usually want the WA number.
