It should be in the RPO Codes, I seem to remember getting the info on my paint when I typed them in (my car is 2-tone black and what GM calls "Hawaiian Orchid{Grey})
yeah canadian is correct the color code is in the RPO codes, but also it is on the build sheet. i donno if urs will be where mine is but mine was under the rear sear cushion. that should help. oh and canadain i have the same "hawaiiam orchid" or more commonly gunmetal grey, on my 86', i donno if u know but it is a rare color to find on camaros b/c it wasn't popular nor was it used many years, personally i have only seen 1 other car w/the grey color. hope i could help

There seem to be alot of 2.8's up here with the Hawaiian Orchid color but all are two tone. I've seen it on Maroon And Blue cars but I dot remember seeing another black/H.O combo. I'm going to keep the color combo when I get it painted, I think it looks good.

There's two codes on the RPO sheet. They're at the bottom. One starts with "WA" and the other starts with "UA". Those are your color codes.
