That photo doesn't really explain which one the code is.... it's the combo of 2 numbers and 1 letter and the letter is always "U"

Example: Silver Birch is 59U

Actually, the one that most body shops and/or paint supply stores use, is the code on the bottom that is highlighted....but either one will work....;)

"bb/cc" = base coat clear coat. U = Upper. If the vehicle were 2 tone it woiud also list a lower color, which would be "L".
