Lower body paint code
1982 Trans Am, black upper body paint with gold lower body paint from the factory.
Does anyone know what the paint code is for the lower gold portion of the body?
Thanks, David

Re: Lower body paint code
What does your radiator support tag say? There will be numbers similar to 15L 17U
The number with the L will be the lower one. If you can post that number with the L, I can look up the code on the PPG paint system at work and give you the WA paint code
My 82 Z28 shows the same number for each....so I'm not sure that number will get anywhere or not

Re: Lower body paint code
19 is black. Figured that be a long shot..... I don't know how else to find it. I can try searching again tomorrow for a gold that was used from 82.

Re: Lower body paint code
I found that Gold Wing, 55/55E is a 1982 color. As I said my tag has 19L.
Thanks for all the help.

Re: Lower body paint code
IF your trim tag has the same upper (U) and lower (L) codes you have a monochrome paint scheme. Your example of 19L 19U means your car is Black Code 19 Upper and Black Code 19 Lower.

Re: Lower body paint code
I found a code of 54 for the gold stripes used on the '82 Z28. Since the stripes are three color, I wouldn't use that unless you can confirm that it is the right color gold.

Almond Firemist. 1982 only. WA7398
Almond Poly 1982-1983. WA7474
GOLD WING POLY. 1982-1984 WA7568
GOLD WING POLY 1982 ONLY WA7739
That's all I could find for gold colors for GM in those years

Re: Lower body paint code
Thanks for your investigation. GM must want to keep it a secret!
