Doing some research on this S code Jade Green and I don’t see any other GM cars that use that code in 1968. Is that correct or am I missing something?
I thought maybe Verdoro Green Pontiac color was the same but it’s a q code. Is anybody have any insight on this?

 

It is not the same paint code as Verdoro green.

yes, I know that. Verdoro green was one shade in 68, another slight difference in 69-70.

Seems like Jade Green was a 68 Olds color only from what I can tell. Doesn’t show it in 69. Usually GM A bodies used the same code, different name. Thats why I posted thus question. 🙋‍♂️

 

According to the Ditzler/PPG website this "S" code or 43794 was used in 1968 for Oldsmobile/GM as Jade Gold and Buick/GM as Olive Gold.

‘ok, so 68 only and buick olds only.. interesting..thank you

 

S paint code is called Jade Gold. which looks nothing like Gold. My 68 is S paint code with lots of original paint in door jams and trunk

its an olive green really

 

So you can’t really see the gold metallic in it?

 

not with my eyes. if I remember, I’ll try to take a pic of where the original paint is.

 

Olds called it jade gold poly. It is an RPO color on Olds A bodies.
Buick called it olive gold poly. RPO on Riviera only, special order on all other Buicks
Poly means metal flakes.

 

Is this the same color Dr?

 

Nope. That looks like G code Willow Green.
This is Jade Gold Poly code S...

 

to light

 

Here’s my original underside of trunk lid paint . Looks exactly like the pic two posts up
