Pretty sure it was a 91-92 color.

It was NOT an Iroc color....I know that for sure.

Cool thanks guys!

How much would this cost me to get done? The factory "Purple Haze" color and does anyone have any pics of a Z28 with this color?

my car is a "vintage plum pearl met." i like it alot in the sun it looks cool.....it sorta changes colors because of the hi amount of pearl in the paint. to see all the different looks it gives off youll have to cheack out my cardomain page.
if your wondering my paint was from Dupont, the paint code is: M4630
if your going with a different brand of paint get them to match a 2000 honda color with that name.

The other color i kinda wish i went with was the Crysler color "Prowler Purple" dupont paint code B9794

look in the history section....

it was more then enough as it was acutally a quite popular option particularly in the female driven v6 cars. i remember when i was looking for a 91-92 one dealership had 3 purple/silver heritage rs models on the lot.

I have a 1992 Camaro RS with a 3.1 and that paint option (The Purple Haze/Hawaiin Orchid). I had it repainted last year by a professional, totalling nearly 2500 dollars, and man it looks awesome, and stock as can be. Unfortunately it is not the GM original paint code, just damn close. I am at school now,when I get home I will post pictures for you all to see. I added V8 16" Rims to the car, a Z/28 Grille, clear side markers, a nice system, flow masters, CAI, hyperjunk chip, and a few other odds and ends. Catch u guys later.
