I have an Red 82 Trans Am. The body shop can't find the paint codes, so I've come here. I've read in other posts to call GM, but what is their phone number? I believe the color was called spectra red.

I also remember reading the codes on the door don't help you out much.

"Pontiac paint codes can be confusing! For example, the color code 96/WA8867 listed on our site can be shown on your vehicle as 96U or 96L or 8867 or WA8867. Often there will be a BC CC before the color code. This stands for Basecoat/Clearcoat. The U in the paint code means the Upper Color and the L means the Lower Color. Two tone vehicles will have each color coded, i.e. 96U and say 36L. Also, it could be 8867L or 8867U."

 

The RPO paint code should be on the service parts identification sticker.

 

This post may be of some interest to you... due to the age of your car... though, not 100%.

IIRC, there is a tag (rivited) on your radiator support with some ID numbers on it (82-84). If I were not so tired, I might remember something more helpful...
