12499803 Rear Sport Spoiler 41U Black, High Profile
12499804 Rear Sport Spoiler 74U Victory Red, High Profile

basically im also trying to figure out what someone asked in another thread: is victory red the same as chili pepper

Yep, the "U" and "L" are the 2 digit versions and are not as specific. They are mainly used for 2 tone applications, hence the "U" for "Upper" and "L" for "Lower" If you go by them and punch in the code, like say for example "85 U" the computer would bring up every code 85 that GM has ever had, which is usually about 50-100 different colors over the years. The "WA" #s are much more specific and accurate.

well i see that on kbb.com,

victory red and chili pepper red both have 74U listed as their paint code

arrival blue and pacific blue both have 91U listed

both list laser blue as 21U

blacks are both listed as 41U

lance, do you think for the same model year it is safe to say these colors match? I realize you said the W**** codes are more precise but i havent found a list of all of those yet.
