TWO-TONE COMBINATIONS: CHEVROLET, BUICK AND PONTIAC

The first letter of a two-letter paint code identifies the body color. The second letter identifies the roof color. (For example, the combination 28-10 on a Pontiac would indicate the body finished in Atoll Blue Metallic and the roof area in Polar White.)

TWO-TONE COMBINATIONS: OLDSMOBILE

The first letter identifies the body color and the second letter identifies the roof color. The third letter, when used, identifies the wheel color.

Dulux is not recommended for the repair of LUCITE- or other Acrylic Lacquer finishes.
