i have an 86 iroc and as much as I love the bright purple paint job I want to put it back to its original the only clue I have as to is color is the rocker panels are still original has anyone seen this before or have a photo that shows the whole paint scheme

 

That paint scheme is not original (Thankfully)..Judging by the paint chipping near the door sill your original color is probably white

 

I didn't think this was entirely relevant but I thought of that but my father remembers similar ones on the car lots when he was younger. Perhaps a dealer option. I'm really not sure. Just curious if anyone had seen anything similar

 

I'm going to guess White as well. If your car still has its RPO sticker and you can post a photo of it, we can decode it for you and tell you for sure.

 

Did your father smoke a lot of weed when he was younger? The only cars painted like that would be a custom job by an owner. No dealer would put a car with that paint scheme on it to sell as it would only appeal to one person!

 

I'm going to go with white as well.

Are those Cragar Fan Star wheels on there?

 

Were on the vehicle would that be I would gladly post a photo if it helps figure this out

 

If those are what Monte Carlo SS's got stock then yes. In not then no they are off my parts Monte Carlo

 

Players club

 

We're might I find a photo of one of those

 

You would find that on the under side of the center console lid.

 

I doubt the car is a Player's car. The paint schemes were usually simple and clean. Also, the body plug in the door jamb should be black, so the fact that it's painted tells me a previous owner did an inexpensive paint job. The Player's cars weren't undercoated and the body plug was installed because a hole was drilled to apply undercoating.

 

 

Paint code 8545 was White, BCCC was base coat, clear coat in the water based Van Nuys paint.

 

8554 is white and 86A is black/silver lower stripe.

 

Transposed the numbers - Scott always finds the errors!

 

Thanks guys had a lot of input coming from different people around here and it's just nice to know I know were to go when it comes to paint. It will probably stay purple for a while until I can get my 350 together and find a better tranny and do new clutch packs in the rear end Hoping to trade a 91 ttop rolling body for something along the way but anyway I've tangented thank again
