Default 2008 GXP Paint Code

The color of my car is "crimson red" but I cannot find the code for it anywhere. I could be I'm not looking in the right place on the car, but i can't even find it online.
Anyone know what it is or where I should look.

You can usually find the code under the trunk lid. There's a Service Identification sticker that lists a bunch of codes and the paint code is directly to the right of bc/cc. If you can't find it, just call the dealer and they can help you out with the code by looking up your VIN.

Since you said crimson, I assume yours is Red Jewel Tint, 80U.

I need to remember to update that with the '09 LaX...

JP, I figured you'd pull through with a list. Now go update that '09 LaX info.

p.s. If you need an '09 LaX vin I can get you one.

The '05-'09 are called "Allure" in Canada because the word LaCrosse takes on a whole different meaning in that country.

Now the 2010 models are called LaCrosse in USA and Canada.
