Working on my 86 XR7 and trying to decide on a color. The tag on the upper radiator support has long since left and the tag in the drivers door opening is faded badly. Is it anywhere else on the car?

There is a build sheet stashed in most cars. The paint codes may be on there.

Check the driver's door jamb tag...instructions and colors/codes here:

The door jamb tag is pretty well faded beyond readability(if thats even a word) I think it might be silver metallic but not certain on the lower color. I am torn between painting it original color or going with a black. For awhile every car I bought new or used was black(about 8 in a row) and now I seem to be heading back that way color wise again.
LOL Yeah, I think everyone has to own at least one black car in their lifetime.
Well since there were limited color choices for the XR7, and there was only one silver offered, the code should be 1Q for the top and 7Z for the bottom (Dark Charcoal). Just FYI.
The black with a dark charcoal or argent bottom looks VERY nice. If that's the direction you're thinking, go for it...
