1971 Chevelle Paint Codes

Notes:
1. 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.

16 ~ Silver Steel
25 ~ Mediterranean Blue
29 ~ Monarch Blue
39 ~ Sea Aqua
63 ~ Mesa Sand

The lower body panel on El Camino for Argent Silver is DuPont 9296L or Ditzler (PPG) color number is DQE-8568.

 
Special order paint continued to be popular like this Carolina Blue Malibu and Pontiac Verdoro Green El Camino. The Fisher Body plate may or may not have an indication of the paint color used.

Special Paint (RPO ZP3) was coded differently from different plants. As seen here, this Arlington example put no codes on the trim tag itself where other plants simply put two dashes ( - - ) or the DuPont mixing formula in the paint code position on the trim tag.
