It's really hard for anyone to give you their idea when the color is not factory.

Check out Mopar GA4 and see if that moves you.

Wow, that is the exact color I want for my 71 but I don't know the paint color either, and I am sure that is not a factory color. In fact it is the photo that I have on my resto Facebook page too as my inspiration. Don't care for the rims much and I am not doing a black top but the rest it spot on.

Wait, '209?' You in the Ca Central Valley??

We have an old school guy here in Sacramento that we go to for paint. Jim's Color Corner. Check him out if you need a few cans of paint.

Good question. I know there are kits for sale but specific dimensions....no idea. I looked in my factory manuals and don't see the trunk stripes anywhere. Sorry.

Modesto here. Olds only put trunk stripes on the 72 H/O. Unless your talking about pin stripes. The wide trunk stripes was a Chevelle thing.

It seems you've dredged up a thread that's been dead for two years. Hopefully the OP has the car painted by now...
