Does anyone have the paint code for the mirrors and spoiler for the 82/83 TA? From what I have found out they are a semi gloss black even on the black cars. Does it differ from the paint code for the body paint?

Sorry I don't have the paint codes, but I think I can still provide some help. I purchased a 1982 WS4 Trans Am, and owned it until 1989 (when I bought my Formula 350). The (black) mirrors and the spoiler ARE a semigloss black. They were duller than the gloss black used on the lower quarters of my white T/A. The mirrors also may have been painted w/what they used to call "elastomeric" or flex paint, as opposed to the lacquer/acrylic which was used on the body. The bumper covers were also painted w/the flex paint, but again it was glossy. I doubt if they used elastomeric/flex paint on the spoiler, as it did not flex. I will also add that my black spoiler w/original paint was closer to flat black (than were the mirrors), and it tended to wipe off on the wax rag. The mirrors didn't do that. Hope this helps.

If they are a semi-gloss black, buy yourself some SEM trim black paint... it is really close to being perfect... It is also the same color they used on the T-tops, and many of the under the hood pieces...

Thanks for the replies. Since I am going with the original black and gold paint I might just paint the mirror and spoiler the same black just in a semi gloss. I think a gloss body and flat mirrors/spoiler would not look correct. Just wish I could find the original paint code.

Being that you do not have an RPO sheet in your center console, it would probably be RPO 19?... But it may be a part of other RPO's like that would indicate to the dealer what color to paint the mirrors.
