Rare paint codes

[Hayden Closson]

What brand and year? Paint code offerings changed pretty much yearly.

Ahh.. "Bahama Blue Metallic" - looks like sort of a light blue/turquoise-y color? Got any good pics you can post? I bet it looks great.

Can't say I've seen a bunch in the lighter blues but there was a 1992(?) model forever ago that got traded in at a Chevy dealer I was at, was a light blue that looked really sharp.

My buddy Dan had his '99 painted a similar color though I think it's a bit darker. Not a factory color for any year GMT400 that I'm aware of; they used a color they already had at the wrecker shop from painting the boom on a heavy duty wrecker.

That was a truck I put together for him (engine swap, interior swap, replaced fender, bumper, hood, door, etc.) and then the wrecker shop he worked at chopped down a flatbed from another truck to fit, and painted everything. Came out pretty good IMO. From this mess (some work already started in this pic)

Hey I know this is an older forum, but does anyone know how rare the paint code WA9656 is, I can’t find many GMT400 trucks painted it around my area, let alone my province

Looks a lot like my color, which I have seen listed as the Bahama blue metallic as well as bright blue metallic. Depends on the source. My RPO sticker is pretty much a wreck.
Rare, yup.
And this one is definitely in "your" province!!
An hour north of you.
Only seen one like mine, about 25yrs ago.
And seen a fleet side one turn off the highway into Morinville last summer.

That’s awesome the truck looks amazing, I’ve only ever seen one other truck painted the same colour as mine from factory and it’s sitting in a scrapyard/truck/car parts yard my buddy works at. Definitely a beautiful colour and I’m in love with that truck you shown there it’s beautiful

Yea I can’t even find my RPO sticker because it was painted over by one of the previous owners but I just know that mines the same colour from factory do to looking at the vin and looking underneath my dash behind my engine on the firewall. But definitely a beautiful colour I haven’t seen another truck on the road near the city I live in or at all for that matter.

I’ll definitely post more pictures where you can see the colour a lot better, but I have plenty of aesthetic pictures of my truck.
