Default CHP Color/Paint for 1985

I am having a bit of a debate with myself about how to repaint my car. It is going to be my occasional driver as well as my show car. First I want to know if CHP ever used solid color cars in the mid 80's and if so what color where those. Secod, if the first is a no, should I paint the car all Black, all White, or Black with a white roof. I am planing on placing all equipment in the car, as if back in service.

I'm trying to avoid the white doors because local PDs here are all going to B/W and since this car I will be driving a lot and with the kids I want to avoid all the attention from PD. I will not have any decals on the car either.

No solid colored cars until the all-white SMPVs of the early '90s. However, a number of '85 SSPs were converted into the first SMPVs and they were painted various colors with white doors. Here's a silver one:





Totally rare cars, even in their day. Nobody has done one of these yet, that would be an awesome show piece Marcos.

Otherwise, I'd vote for a black with white roof car. That's how the CHP retired them long ago and a number of them (including mine) were released that way even after they started doing complete repaints. No mistaking what it was/is in that scheme
