On a '78 Van Nuys build I would be concerned if WS4 was stamped, all '78 VN Trans Am builds that I've owned did not have WS4.

Of note, for '78 the W for waterborne paint was stamped before the upper & lower color code. For '79 models, the W was stamped far to the right, past the trim tag color codes. The waterborne paint process was first instituted @ VanNuys for '78 F body model production, & ive never been a fan. Personal experience is the waterborne color coat (Inmont) is very thin, it would not even hold up to the mildest of polishing compounds.
