The short make/year code for this paint on a 29462 in 2008, is 13. The code 13 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: "13 2008 Pontiac". The longer GM paint manufacturing code, sometimes called the "Fisher paint code", is WA573Q. This longer manufacturing code is useful for tracking paint usage.
