Original car paint doesn�t match trim tag?

Sorry I wasn't clear to begin with.

You were clear to me, but then apparently I wasn't clear in my explanation either. I learned in writing the TIM&JG that it is very difficult to communicate with the written word. I do much better with the spoken word, but even that is more difficult as I age.

here are a few pictures of what I believe is the original color, what says the experts? I have more pictures if needed.

(if your camera has macro setting, you might be able to shoot STRAIGHT on, at close range)

Here’s some pictures of the trim tag. It was removed from the car for painting by the shop that was doing the restoration work.(still haven’t figured out what shop or if it’s still around). One of the things I noticed as well is the “comma” like thing that is stamped just before the color code.

With one known TYPO in the trim tag... there easily could be two.

Do you have a tank sticker ?
That might also help answer a few things ?
The tank sticker was computer-generated and printed out just like the broadcast codes were; not typed in by hand on an Addressograph machine.

Who can authenticate the trim tag? ....

For C3 Trim Tags, Gary Bosselman is the man.
