Paint code location prior to April 1977:

Based on vehicles sighted during our research, it appears that pre-April 1977 vehicles did not have a paint colour or indicated anywhere on the vehicle, and restorers will have to rely on assessing a car's original paint to determine the colour specification. 

Paint code location (From April 1977 onward):

The original paint colour applied to a post-April 1977 GTS should appear reverse stamped into the vehicle's body tag (welded to the rear passenger-side parcel shelf). Interestingly, we have sighted two blue paint names on data plates we've sighted: (1) "Sapph Blue" (which we assume is short for Sapphire Blue, (2) "Balt Blue" (which is perhaps short for Baltic Blue). We've also sighted "A/Green" and "ALO White" - although it's unclear what these last two could be short for. Despite having different short form names, these colours presumably correspond with (respectively) Pale Dark Blue, Royal Blue, Metallic Green and of course, White (as listed in the table below).

Several enthusiasts have noted that original paint colours may be referenced in several other places in production crayon marker. One location sighted is on the back seat vertical panel/bulkhead. This was likely used during production to ensure panels were correctly matched, however, we have not been able to obtain any images confirming this.53

The following list of colours has been taken from Ryno Verster's research, combined with an assessment of numerous vehicles sighted during research which are believed to be factory original. Unfortunately, factory paint colours and codes were rarely published for the GTS Minis,55 and we have only been able to attempt to match colour descriptions with the vehicles shown in the images to the best of our assessment ability. Therefore, please use caution if relying on the labelled images. Should you have any further information with respect to the original GTS paint colours, please get in contact with us so we can update this section for everyone's benefit.

Spotted in a Facebook post in October 2022 - this dark green Daytona convertible is in desperate need of restoration.. Hoping someone can save it! Managed to get the body number for the register. Only know of one other dark green example: which was imported to Australia.. Take a look at the other Studebaker Daytonas here on classicregister - This is the 26th Daytona convertible on classicregister.com!
