My car is an original FY1 Lemon Twist car but has been painted a time or two. I had a quart of paint mixed up to use with a tintable interior coating and ended up with a different yellow than I expected. I could use some input from those that deal with paint shops more frequently than I do.


I went in and asked for "FY1 Lemon Twist". His computer didn't pop up with it, so he pulled out the book for 1972 Plymouth/Dodge colors and pointed to "Y1 - Top Banana/Lemon Twist". I told him that is the color I wanted.


Naturally I didn't ask him to pop the cap before leaving and he didn't offer to show me the color otherwise I would have questioned it then. The label does show "Y1", but calls it Jasmine Yellow.




What I have come to find out is they are both PPG "Y1" but Jasmine Yellow is OEM code DT2587 and Lemon Twist is OEM code DT2469. As per this reference:

Do I have a leg to stand on? Do paint shops typically fix their mistakes like this? I feel like he went back to the machine, typed in "Y1" and hit GO. Not looking at the actual name, year or OEM code.


The color vs my decklid [which should be Lemon Twist]
