Thread: Color Codes

Tweet

Hello fellow wrenchers, and wannabe wrenchers. I have a question concerning color. I want to match my RED 87 trans am's red paint, but I don't know where to look. A friend suggested it would be on trhe inside edge of the door, but its not there. I will try tyo upload a picture of it. ANy help would be appreciated.....

There should be a "sticker" in your glove box listing the options that are on the car. At the very bottom of that sticker will be the paint and trim codes.

GM hid their paint codes in a few places in the 80's, try looking in the the center console for a sticker with a ton of #'s on it , if not there look in the left rear 1/4 trim panel with the locking flap for the sticker.
On the very bottom of sticker look for a WA# , thats the paint code!

When found I would almost bet (if its the solid red ) that it will Be this color- PPG color code #3794 (<that is not the WA# by the way)
I spray that color almost every day .....LOL
One of GM's most popular reds on all model cars.
