25L — Secondary exterior color: Exterior, Aquamarine Metallic. This code identifies the factory-applied secondary paint used in a two-tone or special paint scheme. Browse RPO codes →
I found code 25L while decoding the build information for my 1995 Buick Encore GX. The description I have is “Secondary exterior color: Exterior, Aquamarine Metallic. This code identifies the factory-applied secondary paint used in a two-tone or special paint scheme” Has anyone verified what this includes on this model and year? I am mainly trying to understand whether it identifies one component or a complete option package.

On these vehicles, similar descriptions can use different codes because of supplier changes or package combinations. The code itself is useful, but the VIN-specific parts catalog is better before ordering anything.

The dealer should be able to pull a VIN-specific equipment or parts record. Ask them to search by VIN rather than entering only the three-character code.

For a retrofit, check the modules, wiring connectors, software configuration, and compatible part numbers first. Installing the visible component alone may not make the feature operational.

I have seen this on a similar Buick Encore GX. The basic description was correct, but one related feature was part of a separate package. I would not assume the code includes every item mentioned in marketing material.

The wording may be abbreviated because these were originally production codes rather than consumer descriptions. “Secondary exterior color: Exterior, Aquamarine Metallic. This code identifies the factory-applied secondary paint used in a two-tone or special paint scheme” is a reasonable plain-English reading, but the exact implementation should be verified for the 1995 model.

If the feature is listed but not working, scan all related modules before assuming it was removed. A stored fault, replacement module, or configuration mismatch can make original equipment appear absent.

I would start by checking the original build sheet and then compare the physical equipment on the vehicle. A sales or option code confirms the factory record, but it does not prove that every original component is still installed.
