Originality / carolina blue 1969
August 15, 2008, 04:33:40 PM
I have a special paint 1969 RS. It has the dash on the trim tag and was originally painted Carolina Blue. It also has a code C dark blue vinyl top. I am about to repaint the car and need some help. Carolina Blue was available as a 70 and later GM color and used on both the Camaro and the Chevelle. The Dupont number is 926-98371. I have also seen some information that suggests the 69 Camaro cars were painted an offset color/similar color and that possibly powder blue oldsmobile color was used in 1969. The Powder Blue and the Carolina Blue i have seen look the same. Can anyone offer real info on what color was used to replicate Carolina Blue in 1969. Was there a legit Carolina Blue color as the 70 and later stuff had, or was it an Oldsmobile color that was used? Was it possible that dupont 926-98371 paint was used on the 69 Camaros or was special paint in 1969 limited to GM color offerings for that year. I have read that special paint meant any color, and also read it meant any color available from GM that year. thanks
