I always thought the colors were unique to the letter code, B all blues, F all greens, etc. Strange that Q was several different colors, there's more letters than basic colors so why do that?
Anyway, cool color, looking forward to seeing the whole car in it
1968 Plymouth GTX

I believe the first letter indicates the year it was produced.
E=69 F=70 G=71 etc Second is colour, third is shade A good read here[*].https://www.dodgegarage.com/news/articl ... olors.html |

Fender tag in that article doesn't look anything at all like mine: Notice the second line up from the bottom under PNT. You see QQ1 that is the paint code designation as follows: Paint Code QQ1 First Q is roof color Second Q is body color 1 = monotone 1968 Coronet R/T

My Charger is a GY9 if memory serves correctly its an ugly green in my opinion but it grows on ya. Still gonna change the color lol Gonna try to keep it a mild custom with some engine mods and color change.
My Plymouth is a Red from factory but its being changed to a Red I like from a unmentionable company. Dennis B.
