1969 988 Burgundy

[Dave C.]

I'm in the middle of stripping and getting ready to paint my 69 L36 roadster, real nice original car, and the factory colour is burgundy, I've heard talk that it may be a metallic burgundy. It has had one quality strip and repaint in lacquer a long time ago , with no sign of any metallic in the paint. Just wondered if someone could clarify this for me.
Also I am looking for a drivers side door for this car as well if anyone has any leads.

Re: 1969 988 Burgundy

It is listed on the Corvette paint chip guide as "metallic burgundy".

Re: 1969 988 Burgundy

Listing equals not looking at a original paint chip if that code was a 66 color advise. I might have the formula and know where original lacquer is located

The 1969 Corvette burgundy was definitely a metallic paint. I don't think it had a really high metallic content, but it was metallic.

Thanks joe, going to have to dig into some paint codes and maybe spray out a few test panels.

Dave will do the APP doesn’t work properly to resend

With Joe’s reply I assume it’s not a color that started with late C2, correct?

Ronald------


Never a C2 color although there were C2 colors that were somewhat similar.
