Default Paint code confusion

Ok so I am looking at possibly trading my 05 GTO for a 2002 trans am. Built in aug 02.

Anyways the car is painted blue BUT if I'm reading this code right it should be a silver trans am with a non ram air hood (it has a ram air hood).

Yup car should be sebring silver metallic.. The WS9 & Y82 means it's just a base trans am, hood could have come from anywhere.. In the pic, it looks like there's silver around the left side & bottom of the rpo sticker where they didn't mask very well.

It's hard to say without seeing the car in person.. Dude just might have liked blue more & just about everyone has some type of aftermarket ram air hood on their base TA.

Lol but it's a state away. I will talk it over with the wife. I'd be trading my 80k mile GTO for a 94 k trans am. I need to find a guy in Covington, WA to go look at it.
