Default RPO Code for Painted Roof?

Looking at a hardtop 99 SS to buy and the roof is painted body color. It is NOT black. Same with the mirrors. I want to make sure it was done this way from the factory. Does anyone know if there was an RPO code for a monochromatic roof? Im having trouble finding any info.

Thanks!

No, it was NOT done this way from the factory on an LS1 SS car (other than a 35th Anniversary LE SS, which did come with a body colored roof).

The monochromatic roof was in fact an option on some years of the LT1 4th gens (starting in 1995 I believe), it would have been under RPO D82 but, again, this was never an option on a '99 SS or Z28. B4C cars would have had a body colored roof during the LS1 years, but that (and the '02 35th LE SS, RPO Z4C) would be the only V8 models to get this stock in '98+.

I had my hardtop on my 2000 SS painted body color just to be unique and mimic a 95-97 SS. As RPM WS6 said it was an option from 95-97 only.
