Posted this over in the what did you do to your dingy today thread.
So picked up this 1970 Tub. Pics look red, however in person the car is more orange. So some responded the car is Phoenix-Red (L32). However according to the color code L32 was not available until 1973. Paint code on the door jamb reads L21- Blood Orange or Tangerine which was available from 1969 to 1972 at which time it went away. So, did L21 replace L32? Are they basically the same color? What do you all think?

You can take a head light cover over to your local auto paint supply shop. They can match the paint with a spectrometer. If you bring in the two paint codes, they should be able to tell you which of the two colors it is. Is the car completely repainted? If not and the two paints match, that should narrow down your choices.
