Need Help!

I finally got the hood for my Camaro. Problem now is, I don't know the color code for my Camaro. It was redone by somebody before me, so I cannot get the numbers off of the car. Does anyone know what it is, or can help me with this? My Camaro looks exactly like the Camaro featured at the very top of this webpage itself. (Where it says ThirdGen.org) I want to get all this stuff straghtened out ASAP so I can get it painted up and go to some shows. Oh, and tell Hondas what the heck is up

Do you have the RPO codes for your car? They should be on a sticker on the bottom of the center console lid, they're a bunch of 3 character codes. If so, one of them should be for the paint color. There is an RPO decoder here, which will tell you what each of them means:

If you don't have the codes, there should also be a small plate on the radiator support with some numbers stamped into it. I don't remember how to decode these, but hopefully someone else does. What year is your car? At least with that it's possible to figure out what colors were available.

Edit: nevermind, I noticed your car info under your name. If it's the same silver as the one in the logo, it's probably Silver Metallic. These are the colors available for 1985:
