Re: What is the color code for burgundy/maroon?

The paint color is not 75, it's 74. There was no code 75 for the Camaro in 1988. And the paint code is WA9535.

The problem with some of these websites is the information is incorrect. Paintref.com says that the '88 color is Dark Red, Code 74 and WA8748. Well, two out of three isn't bad. WA8748 is the 1987 color. In 1988, it was a different shade of dark red.
