We'll, I did it. Found an '85 SS that is mechanically in very good shape, but needs a fresh coat of paint ( still original for now). The seller indicated that there were only a few combinations for the '85 SS for paint color. The exterior is dull enough that I can't tell if it was a dark grey or if it was some form of blue. The interior is blue, and is all in very good shape, so I guess for now I'm looking for the correct colors to paint to match the blue interior.

Any suggestions, or pictures, would be appreciated.

The '85 SS (RPO Z15) was available in five two-tone color combos (Black/Silver, Dk. Blue/Light Blue, Light Brown/Medium Brown, Dk. Maroon/Silver and Silver/Medium Gray.

The blue interior was offered with the Dk. Blue/Light Blue combo and the Silver/Medium Gray combo.

1985 GM color codes: Light Blue metallic-8574, Dark Blue Metallic-8592, Silver Metallic-8547 & 8602, Medium Gray Metallic-8586 & 8603 (I don't know why there are two numbers for the last two).
