Paint Color Code(s)
The paint code generally consists of either two pair of 2-digit
numbers or a 2-digit number and
a letter. The first 2-digit number designates the lower body color and the second
2-digit number designates the upper body color. In the case of a convertible or
a Chevelle with a vinyl top, the second 2-digit number is replaced with a
letter
to indicate the color of the top.
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.
