...a new paint job! I had the shop use the original L99A Delphi Green, but we found a body label that called it Saturngelb L99A, so I guess marketing made the difference. But now can I still say that she's "mostly all original?" The original clearcoat was shot, chipping and peeling on the top surfaces, vertical surfaces looked like new, but she was stripped down to bare metal for dent and ding repairs. And now she's BEAUTIFUL!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Late cars with metallic paint from 74-76 had clear coat. Usually there was a foil type tag in the door jam indicating the paint number.

Mistress is a Feb. 1973 build car, but the Delphi Green was an extra cost($209) optional color for 73 and 74 years only as far as I have discovered. I don't know if that qualifies as a custom color from the factory, but there are certainly few samples of this color around.
