'79 Trans Am paint code help needed

[Restorer32]

Need help deciphering the data plate on a 1979 Trans Am to determine factory colors (two-tone). Car was originally silver so I'm assuming the SIL 530044 on the data plate is significant but my paint supplier can't correlate it with anything. Thanks!

On the body tag located on the firewall the paint code is the series of numbers before PNT on the right side of tag in the 2nd line. If the is only one pair of numbers the car was single tone. Two pairs the first is upper color then lower color for two-tone. The numbers after TR on the left side of that same line are the code for the interior.

The paint code for a silver or gray are 15=Silver Irid, and 16=Gray(Tow-tone only).

Thanks! We'll check it out. I knew I could count on the collective wisdom of the Forum.

Checked the tag. Second line is 152 15L16U.L. nothing else. # seem right for the colors though.

could you take a picture of it or a rubbing and scan it? What you have isn't macthing my book for some reason. email it to chevyiiman@earthlink.net I'll see what I can come up with. If you can't take the pic or do the scan let me know and we'll see about geting the hardcopy to me. I'll check back here about 8pm tonight.
