So a friend of mine is restoring his 69 coronet convertible which has a B7 blue interior color. His fender tag shows a paint code of 99. I only know of three special order paint colors in 69. Rallye green, bahama yellow, and orange. None of those would go with a B7 blue interior. He has since had the body soda blasted and all the original paint is long gone as when he got it, it was painted B7 blue on the outside to which he painted it over with B5. He is trying to get the car back as accurate to the fender tag as possible.
Any help he would appreciate.
Fender tag reads: End J25 L31 m31 m33 r11 y39 A01 a04 c16 c55 g31 g33 99 99 p6c b7 113 060835 E44 d31 wp27 f9g xxxxxx
inherited a 69 roadrunner from my grand pop.

any color other than the ~18 STANDARD factory colors would be Y39 & "Special Order Paint"
GM, Ford & other Corporate identity colors could be ordered for extra cost on a car. the car itself (behind kick panel, windshield jamb, floor boards, tops of inner quarter panels, etc.) would be the best source for the answer to this question, but if the entire car has been blasted that evidence is gone.

another possibility ..... a 1969 color not available on Coronet could've also been ordered ..... 1969 B9 was available on Monaco "dark blue metallic" & Imperial "midnight blue metallic" ONLY simplest, cheapest, available "99" special paint OPTION Monaco in the showroom in that color & customer wants it on a Coronet! poorly worded

what facts are you going to wait for? Any that become available, when they come available. Guesses & WAGs are useless. Facts are well worth waiting for.

Yes. Upper door frames are b7 still. I think he said he replaced the carpet with the same color shortly after he firs got the car about 20 or so years ago

I strongly recommend your friend identify the tiny scraps of original 99 paint left on the car & take pictures NEXT TO THE IDENTIFIED PAINT CHIP as a reference.
Cameras, computer screens, phones all "distort color" so you need to have some type of body shop paint chip of the identified color right next to the scrap of paint left on the car to positively identify the color. The idea here is that when your phone camera (& screen for that matter) distort the color, at least it will be right next to the paint chip, so they "should" be distorted about the same.
Sorry this sounds weird, but I'm a paint scientist. That would let you identify the original color. 99 paint jobs are rare. Convertibles are rare. Some day, somebody might want to document the car & restore it 100% original and having this paint information with GREATLY increase the value of the car in my opinion.
Hope this helps.

The ordering paperwork would be needed. I was able to see a 99 paint 1969 Charger original order blank for a car ordered by a customer at a Dodge dealership. Hand written on it was 'dark burnt orange' & nothing else. The factory invoice to the dealership mentioned the 99 paint, but no further data on it about the actual color.
