Re: Midnight Russet Metallic

It looks black\brown on cloudy days, and when the sun come out brown\bronze.

The car was repainted a few years ago, the former owner said that they did paint it in the original color.

But with 372 cars in that color it can be difficult to find another

Re: Midnight Russet Metallic

Do you happen to know the paint codes for it? If it's the original color, the paint codes should be on the RPO decal in the center console. I would LOVE to paint my 88 GTA that color.

Re: Midnight Russet Metallic

I realize this is an old thread but I wanted to share a pic of my '87 GTA in Midnight Russet that I purchased earlier this year. 1 of 372 GTAs produced in this color. I used to own an identical GTA and cannot believe I found another one. Enjoy!

Recent addition. '87 Trans Am GTA in midnight russet. 1 of 372. We named it Hazel.

Re: Midnight Russet Metallic

Heck yeah! Love that color! ....I've got a list of 7 or 8 thirdgens I'd buy as a stock survivor to remain untouched alongside my modified cars. -this color combo is one of 'em!

Re: Midnight Russet Metallic

Thanks, all! It’s an interesting color for sure. Contrasts nicely with the gold accents. I’ll try and share more pics.
