Hello I'm restoring my Charger that was my first car, Back in 1981. A Trans Am pulled out in front of me and totaled both cars. So the fender tag got lost in the accident. The question that I have is how many colors of green were available in 68? I bought 3 of the greens GG1, TT1, and Dark green poly. According to the spray outs, TT1 is a very close match but a shade lighter than original, underneath the door mirror. I think that it's a late 68 according to a few clues. Were there any 69 green colors that got sprayed on 68 model cars? I like the TT1 color. just wondering if there was another option that I'm missing.
Thanks Glen

2 of my FF1 '68 cars, if it helps...I like all the greens, though. Only those 3 for '68s.

I repainted a fender on my 68 Charger back in 1985. The code was TT. When I got the paint from the shop it didnt match, so I brought him the front valance to color match. The color was somewhere between FF and TT. Ive seen very light TT cars and also dark TT cars....almost olive. Take a look at this Valiant. The quarter is original door and fender respray.

I think my match is a little closer than the Valiant door and Quarter. My brother ran a body shop for years and he said that he could spray it a little darker, by changing the air pressure to his gun. I don,t understand how that works, he called it burying the metalic to make a little darker. My charger is green with the boar green top with white stripe. I appreciate the pictures it is helpful.
Thanks Glen
 
I like the darker green, I cannot load my photo unfortunately.

Air pressure, humidity and temperature all play on how the paint will look.
