Interior and Exterior Paint Chips
1970 Dodge Exterior Paint Codes.
The first Paint Code identifies the roof or accent color. The second
Paint Code identifies the body color. (For example, the combination
W1-B3 on a Dodge would indicate the roof or accent area is in White
and the body is finished in Light Blue Metallic.) Paint code plates
are located in the engine compartment on the left wheel housing
or the left fender side shield.
