Need help in identifying paint code

My SPID sticker with all the RPO codes was missing out of my console compartment when I purchased my gta years ago. I've searched through the vehicle to find a build sheet with no luck. I'm getting it painted soon and need the WA and RPO paint code #. It is the gunmetal grey color and want to repaint it the same color. Was this paint a metalic ? My paint has faded so much I can't tell or see any metalic in the color other than I know they call it the "gunmetal grey".

Any help will be greatly appreciated...

87U is the RPO code.

WA9243 is the paint code

according to:

And I'd be willing to willing to bet Frankie's site is right.
