Paint Color Code(s)
The paint code generally consists of either two letters or a letter and
a number. The first letter designates the lower body color and the second
letter designates the upper body color. In the case of a convertible or
a Chevelle with a vinyl top, the second letter is replaced with a number
to indicate the color of the top.
Atlanta, Framingham, and Kansas City will have a dash character between
the lower and upper body colors such as A-A where Baltimore and Fremont
do not. The 'color' listed is the Chevrolet sales name and may vary with
the same color for a Canadian Chevelle. Internally Chevrolet used simple
names like light blue, dark blue, red, etc.
