Man if my camaro were a rice-rocket all those mods would give me what...easily 50-60 hp!!!

The VIN will not tell you the color code. Do the two blacks look that much different? I don't think that GM would put two different blacks on the same line of cars with out one being metalic. If so, trial and error!!

this may help or it may not. My little red book for firebirds only list one black for 90. The code is 41

hope it helps

GM Paint codes for black

19/848...88-90....black
19/9303..84-87....black
19/9333..84-87....black
19/5118..85-90....midnight black
19U/9509.88-90....black
20/8555..85-90....onyx black

I don't see how the 'colour' black be different,,but apparently GM thought some needed different name, guess it sounds more ritzy.. anyways,, the # after the / is what you should find on a touch up paint can.
I can tell you this,, you don't have metallic black if it's still a factory colour. Hope that helps any
