1982 Oldsmobile 98 colors

Hello!

I've been trying to figure out the color of this car.

The car is a 1982 Oldsmobile 98, but what color is it?

16. Silver Metallic

21. Light Blue Metallic

45. Light Jadestone Metallic

Or is it a special color for the show car?

On my monitor it looks like Light Jadestone Metallic.

Do you just want to paint your Oldsmobile the same color? Where did you get those paint chips?

Ok, thanks for the reply.



I hope one day I can buy a 1982 Oldsmobile 98 in the same color.

You can go here to see OE paint chips by year and manufacturer.

https://www.autocolorlibrary.com/pages/classic-library

You can also find an auto paint specialty store near you and view the paint chips in person with natural light (every paint specialty store worth going to will have a lamp that shines natural light).

Your problem is going to be finding that Oldsmobile in that specific color. You'll either have to buy one in whatever color you can find, or buy a project with the intention of repainting it (not a cheap undertaking).

Thanks for the link.


Yes, it's certainly not easy to find a 1982 Oldsmobile 98 4-Door Sedan in Light Jadestone Metallic.
