We have a 1989 Trans Am GTA in the shop that we are doing a nose-to-tail all-over factory color paint job on. we can't find the paint code for the car anywhere. I have owned a couple of this color, and i can't remember if it is firemist red, flame red, etc. does anyone know? any help would be appreciated. thanks.

 

flame red metallic

 

 

If in doubt,take the car to any automotive paint shop and they can color match the paint to get the right paint code.

 

thank you. got it. flame red metallic.

 

This is the exact same color that is on my original paint 1988 Chevrolet Camaro IROCZ. My original window sticker lists the paint color as GM RPO paint code 74u (Dark Red Metallic/Flame Red & I’ve also seen it as Wildfire Red). I found out recently that it started out as a popular Corvette color in the mid 80’s.

 

How much are you charging the customer for a paint job like that?

 

He ain't been here in 14 years.

He has probably died of lung cancer from breathing in too many paint fumes. Just in case he died I'm going to lay down a pair of black marks on the street for him too.

 

I didn’t notice the date of the original post, but you’re probably right. lol. Poor guy.

 

i paint.
without knowing anything else, like panel replacement, body work needed etc, id start at $6500 and go from there.

minor body work, maybe a fender replacement, door, hatch under hood, 12-15k
