Re: Da VIN 'P" Code



Yes Glen, according to my Dupont paint book the other paints were an acrylic laquer and a standard (oil base) enamel.

Mike,
"P" in the color code simply means "Paint".  Some vendors list it, 
others do not.  It may be there so that when the code is seen out of 
context, it's recognizable as a paint code.  "A" after the color 
number indicates Lustre-Gard acrylic enamel.  (As opposed to a 
lacquer finish?)  "Poly" in a color description is short for 
"polychrome", which lay people generally call "metallic".

I hope this helps.  :-)
