Default Factory Silver Ground FX help

For those with a 2000-2005 Monte and factory silver ground fx, could you grab the paint code for the ground fx trim from the trunk?

Apparently MY Monte does NOT have the paint code (and I suspect now it may have been done after it rolled from the factory, not that I feel that's important). I suspect it's "Galaxy Silver", but I'd like to confirm from a factory vehicle.

Thanks gang!

I don't have the paint code handy but the name of it is definitely Galaxy Silver.

EDIT: I lied, I have it here. WA519F I believe.

U and WA both stand for the upper color, if your car was 2 colors from the factory.

And L would be in front of the lower color.

Either way, Galaxy Silver is just 519F

I see WA more on 3 tone vehicles, U is almost always the main & GM nvr painted the lower on non HS cars so it might not be galaxy

In the 2004 brochure I have, on the pages showing exterior and interior colors, it says this at the bottom about exterior paint colors:

"(white, black, competition yellow, victory red, medium gray metallic) May be ordered as a solid color or with Galaxy Silver ground effects on Supercharged SS only."

I guess that had to change in 05 because they didn't offer Galaxy Silver that year. I'm guessing the 05s got Light Tarnished Silver Metallic.
