Ok I have just a 86 iroc, it has Tan interior, My rear fender well plastic pieces are all faded, and nasty, So I got some other ones, but there gray, I need TAN! and I CANT find the matching paint, I ordered some from YearOne, And it was the wrong color, So They send my the only other color they say it could be, and its Way wrong. So Then I went to the local paint supplies, that sells SEM paint (the brand yearone sent me) and Bought the only other closest can, and its WRONG. has anyone repainted there tan plastics? i want Like 100% Correct, But I cant find anything.
My interior is tan and the back panels are doing the same thing. I couldn't find any information on the color name but chances are you will have to paint all the plastic...which kind of sucks. However, all the colors will match and it will make the car look that much cleaner.
My question is how much would it cost to get paint for all the panels and whats the prep work for it.

Well I got a color I wouldnt mind but it doesnt look good with the door panles, And just wash them good, and i bought this prep clear coat primer for plastics and it works good.
It seems the tan color name is hard to find. I'm wondering if talking to someone at a Chevy dealer would make it easier on you to find the exact color.
My 89 iroc has tan interior. Mine is called medium beechwood. They might of called it a different name in 86 and maybe the shade is different too. If you're trying to match the other panels with the paint they say is correct, you have to remember that most likely the rest of your panels and interior are probably faded and the paint is not going to match. Might have to paint all the panels.

The shades of tan changed depending on the year. Have you tried SEM# 15753? It's called light oak and matches some tan panels I have from the mid 80's.

well I know for a fact, the piece that goes under the hatch isn't faded, nor is the kick panels and nothing matches.

I thought you folks with the tan had it easy compared to my trying to match carmine red. I know what you mean about those rear plastics though, mine are chalky looking too.

yeah i know.. sand them down and get past the "chalky" layer... sand with like 320... then 400... 600... 800... 1000... 1500... and buff them out they will look awesome. you can make them look smooth too by sanding away all the rough textured finish.

But wont thay then be smooth? and not have the original grain look?
Hey guys. I have an 86 iroc and the interior is called "Light Saddle Tan". I know this because I purchased that color headliner from Hawks and it was color matching. I actually am looking for this paint too. Haven't really looked anywhere except on the net and couldnt find it...

Hawks may call it, that. I have the 86 catalog and the only tan is "saddle" some places even call it Light buckskin/saddle, because im looking for a headliner, But Iv actualy bought Light buckskin and its to light.
AHHH great thought tan would be the cats a@# didn't know they had 4 different colors of tan.I tried the RPO code thing last night but all I got was a bunch of alien code crap so I didn't do something right
The bottom line seems to be, copy your VIN and REPO codes to GM dealers and ask them to tell you what to get, and where if they are no longer able to supply.
Seems to be light saddle is the color of 85-87 tan camaros..

Awhile back I pulled a rear area carpet from an 86 camaro sport coupe and on the underside it has a paper tag attached that reads GM F Body LT Saddle.I believe it also has a part# but its packed away in the basement so I cant get at it right now to check
