Default 02 & 04 paint compatibility?

So I had a little oopsie and f'ed up my passenger high sport kit..Luckly its not too severe to where I need to replace it, I can easily repair it. I plan on doing this myself and I have supplies at my disposal including a tub of paint for a 2002 black monte carlo. Is that the same color as the black on the 04 ground effects?


btw, pics..
I was driving over some snow into a parkinglot and my back end swung out pushing me right into the corner of the curb ):

Black is the least forgiving color, I really might want to suggest taking it to a place.

I believe both the body and ground fx paint codes should be on your RPO sticker (in the trunk). If the paint you have shows the paint code, you could match them up. Hopefully that's a quick/easy answer....

Do you happen to know what code on the rpo sticker is for the ground effects?
