Help on a color

Hi guys and gals! I'm repainting my Trans Am and I'm haveing trouble finding the correct color for the gold on the bottom of my car!! I've tried Googling this and all I can find are the main colors. I don't wanna just go out and get any gold. I'd like to get as close as possible as I can. If any one could help, that would be AWESOME!!!! Thanks in advance!!

I've been on that site and it only shows the main colors. No accent colors.

No. There is no sticker on the car. There are two stickers but no one have anything about color codes.

Re: Help on a color

The spid sticker should be in the center console. It will have the VIN number as well as all the other rpo codes. at the bottom should be the paint codes it should be WA XXXX for 2 tone cars it will have a WA LXXXx UXXXX L is the lower color and U is the upper

On occasion i have saw the spid sticker in the rear lock compartment inside the hatch.

If not either place, maybe someone here with the same car can help ya. Or you could try to go to your dealer and see if they can pull up the rpo codes from your vin.
Every once in a while they still pull up or least they did back in my days working at the dealer.

Re: Help on a color

The car isn't original and I've looked all over the car for this sticker. I've also tried the dealers and they can't go back that far. So I was hoping to find someone on here that had the same black and gold package as mine. Thanks!!

Re: Help on a color

Did a little searching and I'm almost positive your lower accent color is Champagne Gold,WA8753.In 86,you could only order the Champagne Gold or Black on the lower aero moldings on the Black TAs.
