68 Coronet R/T - need help with the paint scheam indicated by the fender plate

[RickAlm]

I have a 68 Coronet R/T that I'm in the process of restoring. I've run the fender plate code through two on line decoders it cames back with Silver Metallic for the full body color. No surprise there we have found several locations on the car where the original paint is visible with a bit of sanding. What we can't quite figure out is the rest of the description.

Black (Dodge, Plymouth), Formal Black (Chrysler, Imperial) Upper Door Frame Color. Bright Blue Metallic (Dodge) Racing Stripe. Black Horizontal Accent Stripe.

The car has had full rear quarter replacement and the trunk lid is not the original so there is no way to look for a rear stripe around the fenders and trunk and we have been unable to find any paint color other than silver on the car. Believe me we have looked.

Can anyone tell me where the stripes indicated would be located on the car?

Thanks

Can you provide us with the codes on the plate? Better to start over than pick up where you left off. A silver '68 Coronet is one that I would love to see, my favorite year and one of my favorite colors. Is it a 4 spd or auto?

Does it say AA1 B8*?

AA1= silver metallic paint
B= inner upper door frame painted black
8=buffed paint (standard code with AA1 paint)
*= stripe code

This is the full fender code:

In the line with all lower case letters - 'b' has a 4 under it and 'u' has a 1
In the line with all upper case letters -'A' has a 1 under it, R has a 1, Y has a 6

Then:

1235678 AX TRM PNT UBS
95 8 68 S6X AA1 B8B

WS23 83 3 44 110 253263

Yes - I guess 'B' is the stripe code then. Does that really mean both stripes?

Can you post a few photos of the car?? Silver '68 Coronet R/T with Red interior is one of my favorite combos...

Beautiful combination! I'd really like to see some pictures.

Andy440 has a very good 68 tag decoder. http://andy440.com/tag.htm

S6X would be black bench interior and from tag I'd say just the black horizontal stripe. Beautiful car!
