DULUX®
Dulux is not recommended for the repair of LUCITE - or other Acrylic Lacquer finishes.
NOTE:
It may be necessary, at times, to tint colors to produce a satisfactory match due to normal weathering and changes in color standards. Please refer to the 1968 Opel Paint Charts or 1970 Opel Paint Charts for actual samples. |

1969 MODEL COLORS
The 1969 Model Opels imported into the United States were assembled at two different plants - one using acrylic lacquer and the other using enamel. Both plants used the same colors but since there were some variances, we are offering color matches for each plant.
