Thanks for the link. Seems there are quite a few people that can't agree on what Carolina Blue looks like and quite a few paint codes thrown around.
I'll have to research some of those codes and see if I can come up with a match.
For the record, that 70 Chevelle in that thread is the "exact" same shade of blue on my 72 Chevelle. I have - - for a paint code, I've always known it to be a special order paint car (bought it when it was 15 years old), just never cared what it might of been till now.
I've found several areas of nicely preserved original paint that is not faded (under the original door jamb stickers for instance)
That is definitely the correct shade of Carolina Blue. Mine was sold new in Winston Salem, NC at Modern Chevrolet.
I just really prefer to not go through a custom color match deal with the paint store and would rather present a code that will get them there.
