    Hi all, I've got a 2006 Grand Prix GXP painted what I believe to be the color Stealth Grey Metallic. Every website I go to seems to have that color but it is shown darker than my car. I don't want to buy the wrong color of paint so does any have any experience buying this color of paint before? Here's a picture of my car:

    If you are looking for something to touch up rock chips swing by your local body shop. If they are anything like mine they have a couple half empty cans of your color lawing around that they will give you.

    RPO codes 46, 928L, G56, WA928L = Stealth Gray Metallic

    These guys can mix up a rattle can or a small bit for touch up. I've had a perfect match from them on Forest Green Metallic

    How do I know what RPO code I have is? Does it make a difference in ordering which code I pick?

    Rpo codes don't matter. Just the paint code.
