During removal of fenders and such, I noticed a want to go back to the original blue. Paint code says 24 24 on the cowl tag.
It seems to be a heavy metallic light blue.
I have posted my cowl tag in the Tag Team section. But the paint code had Ascot blue and Adriatic blue as answers. How can I find out exactly what it is. Before I drop hundreds of dollars on the wrong color http://www.chevelles.com/forum/frown.gif

The color should be the same regardless of the name. Each division of GM had its own name for the same color (Cad = Cadillac, B = Buick, C = Chevy, P = Pontiac, and I'm guessing that the other letter is O for Olds). If all of these names correspond to the same number used by the paint manufacturer, then the color is exactly the same.
