It it shows being repainted, it could have been done in the
wrong color.Someone that was slightly colorblind may have said, this is the
color when selecting the paint.It could also have been painted be the dealer.
Its not uncommon to get cars with transportation damage or damage while on the
lot. A metallic color isn't too easy to spot in without being noticeable. Again,
the wrong color may have been picked.

Subject: IML: 69 Factory Paint
I was wondering if you or anyone else would have
any
thoughts about the following scenario.
I have a 1969 Imperial sedan,
12,000 original miles and
it has the original aquamarine paintjob which is
F-4 by
factory specs. However, the frame tag and original
factory
broadcast sheet specify Platinum Mettalic, A-4.
By looking at the hood and
fenders it is obvious the car
was repainted. But the engine comparment,door
jams and
trunk all match. This vehicle was custom ordered bt
the
original owner, including the color. Previously I had
corrosponded
with an Imperial owner who said a lot of
cars that were thought to be
Platinum Mettalic seemed to
have morphed into this Aquqmarine Mettalic
color. I
personally did not concur with this theory, so I did
some
reseaerch at a couple of local body shops. They showed me
original
paint codes and colors from that year which
leads me to the conclusion this
was a factory oversight.
My question is...does this in any way affect the
value of
the vehicle? Also, should I
re-paint?
Thanks,
T.L.
