Hello, I'm Joe and I have a 1982 Transam.

I'm not that good with cars or codes so I'm hoping someone here could decode the color of my car.

I wish to touch up some trouble spots before this winter when I probably will get it all repainted.

I think these are the two color codes off my cowl plate.
18R
AR9

Thanks.

 

Those codes don't match this data base.

This is a link to pic of where you should find the information

He's not gonna find his paint code there, his car is an '82.

Akushuki, you are looking in the right place, but you just need to find the right codes. Neither of those are paint codes.

well as i said i'm not very good with cars at all.

I thought those were the color codes but apparently they werent.

I couldnt take a good picture so here is a scan of a pencil paper thing i made.

 

The numbers you want are the 75L and 75U, those are the upper and lower color codes

That color is called Spectra Red, and it is a water based paint due to the W being on the cowl tag

 

I like that color red
