I have a 72 chevelle malibu its the typical blue you would see and i was wondering wht the paint code was for that can any one help me???

Check the trim tag on the top left of the firewall. It'll have the paint code on the second line towards the right side. See http://www.chevellestuff.com/1972/chevelle/tags/72-k.htm for some examples. There are two factory blue colors in 1972, code #24 for Ascot Blue and code #26 for a darker Mulsanne Blue. There was also a fairly common special paint coded "Carolina Blue" that was popular from 69 through 72 that's a lighter, baby blue. If that was the original color the trim tag will either have a dash character (-) for the paint code, blanks for the paint code, or something like 926-98371 on the tag indicating the DuPont mixing formula for the color. Some sample 72 blue Chevelles can be found http://www.chevellestuff.com/1972/chevelle/gallery/index.htm and http://www.chevellestuff.com/1972/chevelle/gallery/gallery_more.htm.
