Re: Gm paint colors

They did. It was a sort of "Plum" color. I think it was from '90 to '92 somewhere in those years. I think it is the rarest of colors. Dont usually see that color, and when I do, it's been on the RS models of camaro. Never seen a 'bird in that color.

Yes thay did it was in the 90s the code is 91 and the wa# is wa9926 and you may have to sell you car to pay for it I bought a pint and it was $105 bucks so if you are spraying a car then you would need a lest 2 qoarts you do the math and that is just for the base coat no reducer clear or hardner

If I were going to fork out this much on paint materials then I would make sure it was done right the firist time so you may wont to pay some one to spray it and you do all the prep work
