Just wondering if a couple of Dodge 1968 paint colors are the same as the 1969 paint colors.

Is the color of 1968 paint code UU1 (Light Blue Metallic) the same color as the 1969 paint code EB3 (Light Blue Metallic)?

Is the color of 1968 paint code QQ1 (Bright Blue Metallic) the same color as the 1969 paint code EB5 (Bright Blue Metallic)?

Could they have come out of the same buckets of paint?

I think they are, but what do I know.

Thanks

U1 & B3 - Similar but different.
Q1 as a blue was '68 only and a deeper blue than B5.
An earlier Q1 was more of a burgundy, oddly enough.

Very good. Thanks.

I saw in my old white book that 1966 & 67 Q codes were both a couple of shades of red. Wonder how many repaint snafu's that has caused over the years?

Proved it again. I don't know nuttin'.

Any idea where I can get sample paint chips of the UU1 & QQ1?

Paint charts are easy to find on Ebay.
You can Google images as well, of course.
Most were printed with ink as opposed to being sprayouts, ao some aren't all that representative.
Here's my QQ1 car.

VS. a '68 R/T in "UU1"

Thanks for the two pics. There is more difference between the two than I thought.

Don't forget E1 and B7 - there's a blue for everyone

Never owned a B7 car, but here's E1 on a '63 I built...

Maybe a better photo.

My recent purchase from here on Moparts. UU1 car and the paint doesn't look very close to that of the Chargers. Maybe a little elbow grease will help.

I'd say they are in the "ballpark" - one needs to realize every manufacturer or brand (PPG / RM / Sherwin-Williams / SIKKENS / etc.) - they did not share formulas -
& line of paint is going to be a different color for the same code (or match), some closer than others to the original Chrysler plant factory applied enamel

age / care / lighting / filters / monitors - all effect the appearance

6bblgt, I like the split screen. The Charger shines. The Dart don't.

You did a good job of describing the cars as being "in the ballpark". The paint inside the Dart's trunk is a much closer match.

The Dart was repainted once & I actually thought it was a matte finish at first.

topside, cool wagon. One of my first cars was a '63 Dodge 330 wagon.

Thanks, guys
