Default beware dark bowling green metallic c5 owners

Well thanks to gm and their **** up of the paint code on the rpo sheet I now have 200.00 of useless paint. The rpo sheet show U9259 91u for the paint code. When talking to the paint store that code came up as a silver. So called dealership and gave the vin they said u9529 was the correct code. Well that's polo green that came on c4 cars. I did Internet research and corvette action center shows 9529 polo green for the car. So I thought safe bet to go with it. GM does like to rename colors for the sheer fun of it.

Found this thread too late.

now I have to redo hood with correct paint code wa9539. Here's a pic of my rpo sheet showing their **** up. And I am not the only c5 with this mixed up number.

I know the color is correct on the car because I bought a used fuel door from aesautoparts and it matches the car to a tee
