Per the CRG report:

"Color System: The bodies were sequenced to "batch-paint" by color as much as the build schedule allowed, to minimize the waste of thinner required to clear paint guns between colors. The interior was masked off, the body exterior was tacked-off, and it then entered the main color booth, where it got three coats of acrylic lacquer, sprayed automatically with vertical and horizontal reciprocating spray guns, with a 3-minute "flash" between coats, followed by a 10-minute bake at 200F to "skin" the surface prior to sanding. In the next stage, any surface defects were power- and hand-wet-sanded with mineral spirits, then wiped off prior to entering the final "reflow" oven. This bake lasted 30 minutes at 275F, where the lacquer surface softened and "re-flowed" to a uniform gloss."

I'm a little confused since you BOTH are answering the questions that have been asked and ya said WE need new TAGS.. There's a guy on Ebay with a bucket of tags. Maybe he took yours... Maybe your cousin needs a new tag for his COPO too.. Ya ok..... good luck with that...

i dont want to accuse him of anything. but the trim tag was there and now it is gone. as early i dont think they made faulty rivets. i have never took one off so i dont know if it is easy or hard.

I don't know how I can help, my number is lower than the range you mentioned... My understanding is all June '69 production from the Nor plant got 06A for some reason. That gives a much larger range of numbers.

The only really legit reason(s) to replace a trim tag is a lost or damaged one. Even changing interior or color has deception to it. and if it's a desirable car (SS, Z/28 etc) a replaced tag is going to draw suspicion on resale. If the car is nothing special (I know they are all special) it might be best to not replace it and if it is a desirable car it still might be best to not replace it unless you have solid proof the car is what it is...
