gfx colors

I am trying to figure out if my gfx on my 85 z-28 were a different color from the factory.

my paint code is L8596 dark blue. there is also v8596

Did all z-28's have a different color for the gfx?

thanks

in 85 the gfx could match the car color.

Sorry, this is about the stripes not the GFX themselves... but might help a little (discussion of stripe options)...

Are you sure the v isn't a U? Body colors for cars with gfx were usually designated with L for Lower body color and U for Upper body color. So a car that was all one color would show the same number with each letter.
