96 Riv. How can I find the paint code so I can order paint? The stickers on the door don't mention it and I can't find another sticker anywhere.

Lift up the spare tire cover in the trunk. The RPO sticker is there with the paint code.

Thanks. Found it. Just surprised it is on such a loose piece of the car. Easy to get replaced by another part. But i suppose the engineers just figured that by the time someone was looking for a replacement spare tire cover all of these cars would would be in the junk yard.

Not really, on GM cars this is/was a customary place to put the sticker and often but not always on other GM cars that cover is hinged to the car. Chryslers typically had a paper build sheet stuck hidden under the back seat in the sinusoidal support springs.

Granted, the inside of the trunk lid might have been a better idea (but that's Ford...)

Put it to you this way: you found it, right? It was correct, right?
