1977 colour codes are as follows:
Dupont-lucite- 44856L Ditzler-ddc- 82352 These are for the "gold paint on special edition cars" The Fisher WA# is 7015 (whatever that means) Good Luck trying to get paint matched with these numbers though. They are for lacquer which is no longer available. I searched far and wide to get a match with these numbers at various locations (body shops and paint stores)with no luck. There is another paint that supposedly NAPA has but my local store knew nothing about it. I will find that and post as well. |

The NAPA code is 42202. Again, when I asked my local napa this number made no sense to them. In the end I ended up with gold rustoleum for my grilles. From what I have seen in other cars the colour came out pretty good. The guys who restored my wheels supplied the paint for that and I have no idea what it is.

The y88 colour is not the same as the gold trim on the S.E. cars. Dont want to sound out of line but I think that y88 was only made in 78. 1979 would be a gold trans am, and most likely it would be solar gold. All special editions were black and silver.

Gotcha, I think it may be a Y84 though, im pretty sure the Y88 is the 78 gold special edition car, then again I may be wrong.

There is a particular gold engine paint that I used when I restored mine. I'll have to look again and see what it was but I think it turned out great.
