I have a Saturn Yellow 73' Someone has resprayed it in a non-correct yellow. They did a terrible job. I have found a couple of chipped areas in the trunk that show a greenish yellow (to green for Saturn yellow) color under the yellow. Weird color for a primer, does not act/look like bondo. Did the trunk area match the exterior for a 73' 1.7 car? When I repaint I want it to be correct. Is it possible that some PO changed the paint code plate?

Yeah, quite likely they replaced some panels during an accident repair or restoration. I know we changed several panels on my Six during the rust/old accident repair replacement. As long it was done correctly, not a big deal.
