I've been getting a lot of requests for the paint code for the 1987-1992 GTA rims lately.

Today I conferred with my local PPG paint supplier and this is what we uncovered.....

The color is called Gold Poly and the GM color code is 52 with a WA listing of #9008.... the RPO list should read 52P on a GTA. For 1987-1991 GTAs, this code refers to the paint color of the wheels.... for 1992, the wheels' actual RPO code changed over to 52P while the black style was coded as PW7. The 1992 color is still the same as the earlier years.

The wheel color is listed in the latest PPG literature as a General Motors Commercial Color (????) instead of the previous GM Wheel Color designation.

The matching PPG number for this color is 3917. This number should be all you need to get the paint from PPG. It is available either in regular cans or in aerosol spray cans. For paint brands other than PPG, refer to the two correct GM codes listed above.

Hope this helps someone out there....

But the 87 gold is different (darker I think) than the 88-91 (or 92) gold, at least when you put the to rims next to each other righjt?

Jan, the only difference I've ever personally noticed is the lighter "champagne" shade of some 1987 rims. I'm going to try and do some more code searching this week if I can.
