69 June camaro with 10 10 paint

I was thinking my firewall said C08 but that picture didn't show anything......Joe

Which picture are you referring to? Is it posted somewhere?

I didn't post a picture from my car because I couldn't see it in the pictures, I was going from memory when I restored it a few years back. The firewall was media stripped so I could see that detail that was under the paint....Joe

[bcmiller]

Now I understand. Thanks

The body color was on the tag and then written on the firewall so it was easier to see/read.

[bcmiller]

Kurt, but in most cases that is buried under the firewall blackout. Body paint is before firewall blackout.

To me it makes more sense that black refers to the vinyl top.

[KurtS]

Could be. Most of the colors are written on the firewall, then the firewall blackout is done. And over the years the writing bleeds through (wax markers are not a good surface for the blackout paint to adhere to).
Bob's writing looks like it's more on top.

You can see on mine where it say BYEL (bright yellow), C60 A/C & 259 near the top. All under the paint....Joe

Body color written on firewall - "RGRN" for Rally Green here.  10A build.

I believe interior paint color was written on the passenger side rear seat bulkead (on at least early norwood cars). "LG" for light green interor paint (officially "Medium Green"). Fisher needed an easy way to know what color to paint inside and outside on the back half of the car.

Was the RGRN on the firewall blackout on under it?

I can't say for certain either way.  I did not find firewall marking until my car was apart.  Maybe 23 years ago or so.  Owned it over 40 years so no resto grafitti.  I did spray bomb the firewall black at that time.

Found a few inspection marks (not all 3) on the side of the firewall (behind the front fenders once they were off).

Rear bulkhead marks were yellow, very dry, almost chalky. Some of it rubbed off when touched.  Found that marking back about 1979. "LG7"

Note: Non-standard color combination.  Required some signatures to get it built that way, I believe.  UGLY.
