I need the 1968 paint code for British Green Metallic for a 1968 camaro. My car is at the paint shop but they can not find the color code for the paint. All help is appreciated. Thanks

On this website it lists British Green Metallic as code Z but it is also the same Z code for Inca Silver. You think it may be ZZ and not just Z.

British Green is paint code Z, there was no Silver Paint on a Camaro until 1969. British green was only available from January of 68 until the end of the 68 model year.

As to what the manufacturers paint formula number is I can't tell you.

Inca Silver was also available on 1968 Camaro under paint code Z. Check it out at this URL:

for some reason they have KK and LL for Ditzler paint as the same code (13516) check with your Body shop before you mix to ensure its the right color. also i have the other exterior paint codes for 1967 through1981 along with the Camaro interior colors that shows sode/colors and comments such as vinyl custom/standard etc. if you like the file sent e-mail and i will send.
