89 firebird factory custom paint

Hi, I have a 89 firebird that has a unique paint job that was a factory option.the entire bottom of the car,starting from the door middle, is painted in a 3 tone silver grey and has firebird written on the lower half.I can't find a code .on the original window sticker it just says "custom paint" an $895 option.I have never seen a firebird with this paint or graphics,has anybody seen a car with a paint job like I'm discribing.and was it a factory option.

Not sure about the graphics, but my 86 Firebird had factory 2 tone paint that went from the door line down instead of just the rocker panel. I liked it a lot better than the usual 2-tone. I didn't have any firebird decals though.

After seeing Jims car I remembered that in a nearby town their is a firebird with that same paint scheme (red over grey). Not sure what year it is, it also has wire wheel hubcap looking things (more luxury looking).
It does not say firebird on the door.
