Color Combination

Back in November i got into a little fender bender which left my bumper and fender on the left side a little bit mangled; nothing too bad but it is a huge eyesore. Ive decided that it's finally time to completely replace fender/bumper, the only problem is that the RPO code sticker is missing. Ive been told it should be located on the inside of the center consol, but it appears to have been peeled off.

Fortunately i do have the original dealership papers from 1985, stating all the options and car specs. These papers state that my car's paint codes are 69U/69L, which does make sense. However, i do not know what the color code for the ground effects is. The car itself is is a russet 1985 Trans Am, and the effects seem to be a sort of gold color. Here is the best picture that shows both colors of the car. I appreciate any help you can give me, i just want to make sure im ordering the right paints. Thank you

These accent colors are hard to find. I have found accent colors for the Camaro though. The gold accent color for the rocker panels is listed as GM#7533 or Standox #53193. I'm sure they are the same for the Firebird and Trans Am. Hope this helps!

69U/69L means the colors are the same for both Upper and Lower.

Your ground effects may have been painted?

Ahh ok I see now, you need to know what 69 transltes into as far as a paint code.

8591 should do the trick, rare color. I have a dealer book at home and I can look into it some more.
