this should be available on any site that offers camaro spotting info, but I think it is two color black and silver.
Excerpt below from iroczone.com in the spotters guide:

For Starters: To narrow down what model year "sub era" of IROC-Z you are looking at, play close attention to the IROC-Z logo on the door. From 1985 to 1987, the logo was towards the front of each door, whereas from 1988 to 1990 (if the car does not have the 'sticker delete' option), they were towards the rear of each door.
Note the striping layout between each 'sub era.' From 1985 to 1987, the stripes were arranged where the black stripe was on the bottom of the two (silver on top as noted in the photo below). From 1988 to 1990, this black stripe was on the top of the two (again, if the car does not have the 'sticker delete' option.)
Also note the wheel styles. A all 1985 to 1987 IROC-Zs had the 16" aluminum wheels with the single (wider) line through each spoke as standard. From 1988 to 1990, the 16" aluminum wheel was now an option, however, all later style IROC-Z wheels had two (thinner lines) through each spoke whether it was 15" or 16" (except for 1988 15" standard wheel - we'll cover this later).

In the early years, it was an option to get the moldings body colored. I think '86 was the first year that body colored become standard. Somebody else can chime in if I'm wrong on the year.
