I found the label that is supposed to have the paint codes for my '09 Vue. It was in the glove box left sidewall. Label was headed with "Service Parts Identification"
Last line was "waterbased 83B"
I can not match anything on this list to a duplicolor or other touch-up paint supplier. Does anybody have info on how to decode this?

Part of the mystery is that the dealer says the body paint is "deep blue" while "imperial blue", code 403P, is listed by duplicolor and the like. I am assuming that the top coat is clear and not tinted. Nobody is saying. The other part is that the Saturn SPI label is all three digit/letter codes instead of the longer codes mostly used.
I contacted the parts manager at White Plains Buick GMC (the former Saturn of White Plains location) who is looking into getting me hooked up.
Thank you again to Bill Darcy, Parts Manager of WhitePlainsBuickGMC.com who got me the touch-up paint. #88860737 Code 37 WA 403P Imperial Blue Met Comes in the customary bottle that has a brush and a pen tip. Label says "GM Vehicle Care".
I'd appreciate if you can send prayers and/or positive energy (whatever your thing is) to Bill. He has been dealing with a bad case of Kidney stones which has not totally been fixed yet. I had my first and only stone a few years ago so I know the pain - Bill's is a series of larger stones.
Thank you!
