Hey,
Im painting the firebird black and maybe two tone with the gold and makeing it a 82 trans am replica.......

I would like as much info on where the decals go and what style they are??

Does anyone know a paint code for the gold (the brighter one not the dark one)

Does anyone have pics???

 

 

 

'82 Recaro T/A!

 

man isnt that nice!!!!!!

do you know of any afermarket dealers for the ground efx?? i see they are makeing the 2nd gen ones really affordable now!!

i basicly need the wheels hood and ground efx and ithink ill skip the wheels as i like the 16 i have on the car now,,, and im already looking localy for a hood. but the car should be going to paint next week so i could always add the ground efx later as i also need to find the fender and quater panel door stop moldings.

heres pics of the car that i took yesterday:

 

Nobody makes aftermarket GFX for the 82 Firebirds. I wouldn't call them GFX as they are just wheel flares.

 

They do make aftermarket ground effects for the 82-84... the front & rear, fiberglass.... more durable than the GM plastic....

Scroll down the page past the KR stuff

I stand corrected

 

yah i actually already seen that page and forgoten about them having them but to me the 215 bucks(plus shipping)for all 4 is way way too much.

Id rather get a full set of ground efx that go all the way around the car if i was to spend that much $$.... but cool find luvofjah anyhow...thanks

update the firebird is going to the booth tomorow morn!

Does anyone have pics of those 16" wheels that are on my car paintesd in gold in the middle???

 

My 83 T/A was black and gold w/ those 16" rims in gold. You have excellent taste

 

Recaro Trans Am are awesome

 

got any pics, got any pics!!

What part is gold, the whole wheel,,, or just the flat parts (not the lip or the dark silver holes) or just the holes them selfs???

Anyone know the proper GM paint code for the gold??

also just got the car back from the booth and here she is before she gets put back together,, i got to wait for the rain to stop!!

 

I belive the color is Goldwing Metallic paint code 55, at least for '82. I'm pretty sure it was the same for 83 and 84.

 

I found the ppg code for that was 3424 at http://www.autocolorlibrary.com
Does anyone have the dupont code??

 

Paint Color Code 55 Goldwing Metallic

Dupont Code B8208
source: www.performancecoatings.dupont.com

Others:

PPG: 3424
Sherwin Williams: 31982
Martin Senour: 30-5074
Inmont: 12672D

From the 1982 Firebird Shop manual.

There are actually 3 shades of gold for the '82 year. Don't confuse it with the Dark Goldwing Metallic code 67, Dupont B8215

There is also another shade of Goldwing Metallic code 55E, Dupont C8256.

and lastly Gold Metallic code 56, Dupont B8288. I believe this was for the Corvette.

Hope this helps.

 

you are the man!!!

i was at that dupont web site and couldnt find any chips colors codes nothing,,, do you have to sign in or did i just miss a link??

 

at the site, click on "sitemap" in the top left corner.
Scroll down until you get to the "Color" heading and click on "Color Chip Library - Historical" To the left click on "Dupont Automotive Finishes" then at the bottom click on " Launch the DuPont Refinish Historical Color Chip Library" Then for car type I selected Domestic, GM. Then click on the year(s) you want to search. I tried to post a direct link but it would start me at the home page no matter what.

 

thanks !!!!
