Where is it located?
Paint codes for all major Oldsmobile models are located on the service parts identification stickers. The location of the sticker varies ,but most common locations are glove box and rear compartment. For the rear compartment check around deck lid or spare tire cover. If you are unable to locate the code refer to your Owner's manual for the vehicle. The manual may not contain your car's paint code ,but it will direct you on where it's located on your vehicle. The most common labels are white paper sticker, while more modern models have silver labels.
  How do I read or interpret the code?
Oldsmobile paint code usually contains 3 or 4 digits. Most paint codes start with WA. Most cars and trucks will use the following format BC/CC U. If your vehicle is two-tone color, there will be an L for lower body. For example:

-BC: basecoat
-CC: clear coat
-U: upper or body color
-L: lower body
