(Dark Brown : GMC : 1984 - 1988)
This code is listed in our database as a cross-reference to PPG code 3688; therefore, the results below are from that code.

This brown automotive paint color is most commonly known as Dark Brown. Another common paint color promotional name is Brown. The color formulation has been used between 1984 and 1988, primarily by GMC; but also by GM, Chevrolet. See the full detailed list below.

GM paint manufacturing codes come in two forms, the short 1 to 3 digit model/year code which changes frequently; and beginning in the 1960's a longer 4 digit code which starts with the letters "WA" or "WE". For this paint, we are uncertain what the prefix character "M" means. Sometimes called "Fisher Paint codes"; codes beginning with WA are production paints, WE are commercial or special order paints with codes typically starting with '5' (i.e. WE5xxx).

We might have more information on the more generic GM paint code WA8267 or maybe WE8267.
