The short make/year code for this paint on a 26718 in 1998, is 18U. The code 18U is unique to this paint color formulation for this year; therefore, the code can be used along with the manufacturer and year to specify the paint. For example: "18U 1998 Chevrolet". The longer GM paint manufacturing code, sometimes called the "Fisher paint code", is WA216B. This longer manufacturing code is useful for tracking paint usage.
