Need help figuring out what paint color my car is!!
I have a 1991 Trans am that was repainted from its original paint color to this new paint color. I've been trying to figure out what color it is, I think it may be a rare paint option for the Trans am that year. I've found a couple cars with the same color as mine on the internet, but I can't match the color with what's given on paint code sites. Please help! Thanks.

That appears to be the code 75 "Brilliant Red".

I agree that the the color looks like Brilliant Red. The codes for that color are:
GM #WA9540
PPG #4231
Dupont #B9009
Glasurit #GM-9540
Sherwin Williams #42028
GM #WA9540

Glasurit #GM-9540
Sherwin Williams #42028

I would think so, but the brilliant red is slightly darker

I think I found it, the paint code flame red metallic was discontinued in mid 1990 to the brilliant red, tell me what you guys think.http://www.gtasourcepage.com/87Photo...audry87gta.jpg

Take it to a professional paint shop and they will code it for you. Not a bodyshop! Professional automotive paint distributor. Thats how I found mine
