(White : Company Fleet Vehicles : 1972 - 1999)
At PaintRef.com we have records of this paint for over 27 years of use.
This code is listed in our database as an offset listing to PPG code 8631; therefore, the results below are from that code.
This white automotive paint color is most commonly known as simply 'White'. Another common paint color promotional name is Western White. The color formulation has been used between 1972 and 1999, primarily by Company Fleet Vehicles; but also by GMC. See the full detailed list below.
There are 20 Companies/Organizations with Fleet Vehicles using this color, see the list below.
The Ford manufacturing code of this paint is WT0021. Ford codes starting with WT or MX are special order paints. It is not uncommon for the same paint to be used by more than one manufacturer. Popular paints offered by one could be special ordered by others. Also, the paint on imported cars were commonly shared.
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". 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). Early use of Fisher Paint codes included extra digits between the "W" and "A" to indicate the type and sometimes location of the paint. For example: WOA or W0A for a flat or suede trim paint (typically interior dash), W5A for low gloss (interior), W25A for semi gloss trim colors (typically interior), and W30A for standard gloss colors.
Variations of the exterior paint code WE5696, which may appear on body data tags include: 5696, U5696, and L5696 (the prefix U for upper body, or L for lower body). Location of the GM paint code plate (Service Parts Identification tag) varies depending on the year and model of the vehicle common places are on the top or near the top of the back engine compartment shroud panel just behind the steering wheel, hinge pillar of the driver's side door, trunk or rear hatch, side of door, glove compartment, or behind the driver's seat. Check for either the short year/make/model paint code or the longer manufacturing (Fisher) paint code.
