Figure 1 - Service Parts Identification (SPID) Label:

The Service Parts Identification (SPID) label illustrated in Figure 1 is located on the inside of the trunk panel or the spare tire cover. This label contains the paint codes needed to identify the paint materials for field repairs. Note this label identifies the paint code along with the WA# for that paint code. It is equally important to use this WA# along with the paint code to identify the correct repair materials. This is especially true for codes # 40 White and # 41 Black, where the WA# identifies the clearcoat repair material from the dispersion lacquer repair material. Care should be taken to transfer the SPID label or its information if the panel to which the label is affixed requires replacement. Replacement SPID labels are not available.
