The short make/year code for this paint on a 74716 in 1997, is 3L3. The code 3L3 is unique to this paint color formulation for this year; therefore, the code can be used along with the manufacturer and year to specify the paint. For example: "3L3 1997 Toyota". The longer GM paint manufacturing code, sometimes called the "Fisher paint code", is WA166E. This longer manufacturing code is useful for tracking paint usage.
