Paint Code

[Mark_C]

In 68 the O-O (Corvette Bronze) paint code was added to the Camaro line up in January of 68. Tuxedo black (Code A-A) was retired from the Camaro line at the same time. Special paint instruction codes in 68 are dashes (-) such as --- or --A (for a white convertible top). In 67 the special paint instructions were O-O. Special paint instructions can be anything out of the norm, a stripe delete on a Z28, a GM fleet or other lines color not available on a Camaro.

I would have proposed that maybe the car was a very early 68 that was still using the 67 style of special paint instructions on the tag, but since tuxedo black was an available color for the first half of 68 procution it would have been coded A-A, so that doesn't work.

Since tuxedo black with an A-A code was available for an early 68 can we surmize that this L78 is a post January of 68 built car? If so it should definately have a --- paint code, not O-O if it was black from the factory.
