As a prototype, this is probably one of the only C900s I wouldn't re-paint. Other than possibly the low mileage cream puff that was driven to church on Sundays by a little old lady, parked in her Pasadena garage for the last 15 years, etc.
Right after I bought my '86 in 1993, I looked up on microfilm (remember using libraries and Periodic Guides to Literature to do research?) a couple of the mags that tested the pearl SPG--very possibly your SPG. With some research, you could build up the provenance, dig up hard copy of those mags; at least one of those articles refers specifically to the prototype pearl paint that will be black or gray in production. You'll be the toast of the SPG section at any SOC convention you attend.
Congrats!
