Red and brown paint codes

[98chevy2500SS]

Having a hard time finding what this paint combo is, the website says Fire Red and Sunset Gold but I don't remember those being factory paint colors for these trucks? Thinking of repainting my 97 C1500 to this combo instead of the dark toreador and ultra silver.

There's a pic of the rpo code tag on the website. It shows the WA numbers and those are the paint codes. That is not to say that truck has been painted back to the exact original color either.

lower color is Wa-9008, Upper Wa-9088 The lower color is usually the primary/jamb color.

The name of the color is unimportant. Chevy, Gmc, Buick might have all had the same paint code but called the colors by different names on different sales brochures. Ie, In old color books, there might be a red chip with a specific Wa#, and following will be all the color callouts, fire engine red , torch red, sunset red etc.

Sh it, I didn't realize they had more pictures of the truck, that would've gotten me closer to my answer. Mystery solved.

Yep, back in 1969, the Chevy color was Hugger Orange, but its Pontiac name was Carousel Red. Same color, just different name if it's on a Camaro or a GTO Judge.....and all the companies did this. Mopar people know that In-Violet is the Plymouth name for Plum Crazy, the Dodge purple metallic paint.

Yup, I would consider the secondary color on that truck more of a darker gold. Typically I'm not into gold colors myself but the two colors on that truck work really well together.
