My 80 SS was White with Cinnabar upper and lower and the tri toned decals in brown shades. Pinstripping was factory paint a brown (Cinnabar) Inside was Lt. Camel vinyl and carpet and Cinnabar (Brown) seat/belts.

It will never be that again. :)

I believe my 80 SS to be in it's original factory paint scheme.

Mine is dark blue, with the decal package that says "Super Sport" being a lighter blue and the lower panels and front air dam are grey.

I have an 80' SS that's black with the lower panel decals in gold (tan looking). It's not a true "two tone" paint scheme though.

Can't help you on the 2-tone but just wanted to say WELCOME since you also have a 1980. I've got a very all GOLD car that's been completely repainted last year and I love the car. If you need any help or parts you will find both here. Michael in Virginia PS my car is a GMC Caballero
