Color combos for a 85 trans am

Iv have been looking for some color combos i want on my firebird. I really like the red with silver around the bottom and red interior. But also like the black with gold around the bottom and black interior. What other combos are there? I like the tan interior but what paint style goes with it?

Re: Color combos for a 85 trans am

My fav is also blue and silver, but I like the med. blue metallic they used in '87. The one above is a little too light IMO.

I used to have an '85 and the stock color for it was a dark blue over silver gfx. I remember another '85 I saw once that was a copper color with gold gfx and gold wheels.

I'm planning to do my 86 in GM U80 dark red and gold. it was never a Firebird color but was a Corvette color.

The inside of that one almost matches the outside. I remember WAY back when I was 16 though, I looked at an 85 TA that exact same color, but had tan interior, so I know they made them that way.

Re: Color combos for a 85 trans am

If you're talking about the interior I doubt you'd ever be able to find it, that was an exclusive 84-85 color I think and it's very rare.

Re: Color combos for a 85 trans am

Hello everyone!!

Can someone tell me what is the bottom silver color (manufacturer, part number etc...) on these two tone cars. I am looking to do some repainting on the front bumper and I want to match the rest of the car but I am having trouble finding the right color.

Thanks bmad
