Need help with lower paint code...

My 86 Trans Am is two toned. From the RPO and paint code pictured below, I know the upper color is Bright Red. For some reason my RPO code sheet doesn't have the lower paint code. Am I missing it somewhere? Anybody know what the paint code is for the silver/grey lower paint on my car?

Car: 1982 Trans Am & 1982 Corvette
Engine: L-98 with LO-3 induction. 350 CFI
Transmission: 5 speed and vette has 700r4
Axle/Gears: 373's in T/A .. vette unknown
While the F-bodies I've had were not a 85 they were a 84 and presently a 82. The 84 was a red and gold car but it's paint codes were 75U-75L. My 82's paint code is 19U-19L but it's a black and gold car.

I've always wondered why it didn't show a different lower color. I think it's because lower paint codes are for true two tone cars for instance my 1982 corvette is a two tone car and carries two different paint codes can't remember them off hand. The car is white on top and silver on the bottom though (paint scheme much like a 78 vette pace car)

I believe the bottoms of our cars are considered a "accent color" which is why the early ones had the same lower paint codes and possibly the 85up's didn't even have a lower paint code.

Or I am just wrong

Hmmm, you would think someone knows what color the silver is. I just want to get some touch up paint mixed up.

Not sure where you decoded your RPO's, but you might as well toss out all those definitions and start over.

Re: Need help with lower paint code...

My 84 also has different-colord ground effects, but the color codes are the same. I think that the upper and lower color codes refer to two-color paint jobs on the body itself, but the ground-effects are a painted separately and installed after the body is painted.
