I'm trying to find some spray paint for my Blazer but not 100% sure of the correct RPO code. I think it's "98U" but I can't translate that into a usable paint code with Duplicolor, etc. Can anyone point out which code it is?

Paint code should be that WA-L8863 code
That was it, THANKS!
So much for cheap matching touch up paint - $32.99 can.

It sort of sounds right LOL. Yeah, officially it's "Black Sapphire Metallic" but it's actually a very dark blue in spite of the name. paintref.com describes it as a blue using that name and "midnight blue". I'm hoping to find a cheaper duplicolor or plastikote spray can to cover my orange windshield frame.
that's the name it pulled when I looked it up too.
Ebay was the cheapest on the cans when I looked but I was just looking for factory white and some clear.
I was getting color matched cans at Sherwin Williams automotive for $22 a can.
Yeah, black sapphire metallic. My old '90 Burb was the same color, a very very dark blue. People often thought it was black until I parked it next to my black Burb,
You might be able to get a Sherwin or PPG store to mix some up in cans for you like ktmoutfront mentioned. I just painted my '90 that color. Didn't use spray cans though. Love that color!
That looks amazing! I wish I have paint skills. LOL
What are you trying to paint? Just the windshield frame?
Full disclaimer: I didn't paint my truck. The painters at my shop did. No way I could have done the job they did, that's for sure!

At the moment I just want to paint the windshield frame and some "B" pillar patched I'm adding, ultimately I want to paint the truck. I'm not looking to make it as nice as yours, just make it a 20 ft'r.

If you're only looking for a 20 footer then I'm pretty sure you could pull it off. Its not as hard as you think, just need the space to do it

Hats off to the people that are capable of painting a vehicle, get the results that are wanted, and enjoy doing it. The fiberglass top on my '90 Jimmy was getting pretty faded having been sitting for about 8 years. Taping off the top that is going to be painted was a nightmare for me. Getting the prep right isn't anywhere near as easy as it sounds or looks, at least if you want something that doesn't look like a 1st. grade class did it. I'm glad that I didn't plan on doing it for a living, I'd have had to do something else to make a living, maybe sweeping and wetting the shop floor.
I decided to do the fiberglass and a few other "minor" spots. Did I mention that I don't have a garage or a car port. I got some Duplicolor paint that on the metal touch ups, you couldn't tell where it was, but when I sprayed the fiberglass, it came out a completely different color.
After several other unusual events, I finally got the sides and back primed yesterday. I still have the top to go.
I should mention that several of the members have been very patient and helpful with my "minor" project.
I didn't mean to steal the thread, so I'll just say, I hope that things work out easier and better for y'all
Have a good one, Paul.

I'm in the same boat, I have zero talent for bodywork.

I've got no talent, know how, tools, area to do it inside, but I'm too stubborn to not do it.
I was looking at the soft tops last night. They look pretty good, but then I couldn't leave anything in the truck and that's one of my simi-secure storage areas for my stuff.
Good Luck, nvrenuf
