To All:
How can I tell on my serial number what the
paint color was on the orginal. If it is
BRG, forget it as I won't put that BSG(Baby Sh*t Green)
on another car. My car is down to bare metal and getting
ready for the primer. It is a '67' with a serial number
of GHN3-101346 and out of that number what is the color
code to match. Can someone send the codes to match as
far as years go and the colors for that year.
Thanks in Advance
