Notes:
1. Goldwood Yellow was only available on SS series; not available on El Camino.

2. Fremont, CA.-built 1964 Chevelles used letters for paint colors. The colors above with a letter in parentheses ( ) are the equivalent paint codes used by other assembly plants. Other U.S. assembly plants used either a 3 or 4 digit (for convertibles) RPO paint code. Additional colors were offered on Canadian Chevrolet models that were not offered on their U.S. built counterparts. Whether all of these additional colors were available on Chevelles is not known but many were.
H ~ Skyline Blue
N ~ Sunfire Red Metallic
W ~ Diplomat Blue Metallic #2

Example of Fremont, CA. paint code. Note "CP" for Ermine White (C) lower and Azure Aqua (P) upper in a two-tone paint scheme. The last "C" code is also unique to Fremont indicating the wheel color as well. At any other assembly plant the paint code would be 988.

Example of Kansas City, MO. paint code of 959 for a two-tone paint scheme. A corresponding code from Fremont, CA. would be "CF C" as shown above.

Lower
(1964 only)

The Fremont, CA. assembly plant used the letter codes for paint color designation in 1964 and the upper body color was listed first, then the lower body color. All other assembly plants used a 3 digit number for paint codes except on convertibles when a 4th digit was added to designate the convertible top color. No Fremont convertible tag has turned up to date so it's not known how Fremont handled the convertible top color on the trim tag.
