Exterior Color Code R - 1965
« on: December 29, 2014, 08:56:58 PM »
 I have seen different cars with "R" color codes through to 1968 and the 68 seams to be more metallic than the 65. What is the PPG color code numbers for the 65 and 68 paint codes?

The earlier color is Ivy Green and is darker, deeper green than the later Highland Green.  The PPG codes probably won't help much as the mixtures may not match original paint exactly since the formulas/toners change over the years.
