Default 85 paint questions

Does anybody have the paint codes for an 85? Or if you have an 85, does the black look like it has green flakes in the paint? Need to get my car repainted and wondered if it is the orginal paint...

thanks,
david

My 85 is just black. Look under the Drivers side cargo bin and you will find the paint code there.

of course my sig pic has an identity problem.... :lol:

I have those green flakes too! Actually, I ran my 85 into a mountain and only a small chunk of the hood broke off. Stress fractured the crap out of the rest of it :( but on the chunk that broke off, it has green flakes throughout it.
