Re: paint code?

Yeah just checked it, people confuse it, Flame red metallic was the name for the color used on the Firebirds and Trans Ams, On the Camaro Iroc it was named Dark Red Metallic, because the only other red color available on the Iroc was Bright red and yours isn't bright red. Mine was Dark Red metallic color, the only other color available for '88s was Medium Orange metallic which under different sunlight can get confusing to tell the difference between it and dark red metallic, look at the stickers around the car and see if you can find the paint code.
