Title: 1968 Norwood Trunk Paint Color
Post by: curtis0916 on August 23, 2019, 03:45:41 PM: What was the factory color of the interior trunk paint on a 05D 1968 SS Norwood Camaro? I believe it was gray/white spatter paint, but have not been able to find confirmation.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Look at the 68 rear antenna thread. Examples in it plus other locations on the forum.

Post by: curtis0916 on August 23, 2019, 04:38:58 PM: My understanding is that the Norwood plant used gray/white spatter until approx. mid year, with mine being late May '68 I'm not sure which side of the gray/white changed to aqua/blue line it was on. Is there any information that is somewhat clear about when the switch was made?

Mine is an early November build and was black and aqua. I thought all Norwood 68's were that way...

Post by: curtis0916 on August 25, 2019, 04:57:04 AM: Prior to me posting this question, my restoration guy had actually found some documentation stating it should be the gray/white, but it's obvious you guys have proven it is aqua/black. Thank you so much!!!

What documentation does he have?

Post by: curtis0916 on August 25, 2019, 11:54:20 PM: He didn't give specifics on the documentation, just that what he found said it was originally gray/white, even painting it that way. He is now going to repaint it the correct colors.

Post by: DAVEN1256 on September 01, 2019, 02:40:40 AM: These are trunk photos of my 03C '68 Norwood car before the restoration I'm working on now. I bought the car when it was ten years old and the trunk always looked like this. Although the gray is well worn, I don't think it started out as black and then faded to gray because the areas that were covered by the taillight bezel stud nuts are the same color as the exposed areas.

Post by: Gars68Tux on September 01, 2019, 08:36:06 AM: I'm not seeing the pics ?? :-\

So I'm pretty sure trunk mats included with Z87 were black and aqua only. Did some cars have gray/white spatter finish with an black/aqua mat ?
Title: Re: 1968 Norwood Trunk Paint Color
Post by: DAVEN1256 on September 08, 2019, 12:19:54 AM: I am curious as to any opinions about the pictures I posted above of my '68 Norwood trunk paint. Wouldn't this be considered gray and white? It looks that way to me. Could this be considered black and aqua?

Post by: DAVEN1256 on September 08, 2019, 12:12:47 PM: You're the second person who said they cannot see the pictures I posted. I'm not sure what is wrong. As I'm looking at this thread on my computer, the pictures show up.

I have my pictures hosted over on Team Camaro and have never had a problem posting them on CRG before.

I'm going to attach them here again. Someone let me know if you still can't see them.

Post by: DAVEN1256 on September 08, 2019, 08:28:16 PM: Thanks to a member's suggestion on Team Camaro, I found out I had accidentally switched the photo album that hosts these pictures on Team Camaro from public to private and that's why no one else except me could see them.

I have switched the photo album back to public and hopefully everyone can see them now.

Thanks…...Dave

To those in the know, would this be considered gray and white or black and aqua?

Title: Re: 1968 Norwood Trunk Paint Color
Post by: firstgenaddict on April 25, 2022, 09:44:10 PM: The aqua color is a very very slight aqua tint. In most photos and to an untrained eye it looks white or off white.
The photos of the pacer I have previously posted make it appear white or off white, but they are also aqua.
The problem is most cameras color correct and that will throw the true colors off especially light colors on a field of dark.
