I used one of those decoder things are found 2 different colors came up.  My car is triple green, green paint, green top, green interior if it helps.

The first paint code came up as F5 and then a second came up as door frame color as F8.  I am guessing that the F8 color might be foe the paint on the lower part of the door on the interior but I guess I am looking for a little verification of that.  It was neat looking all the info up on the car.  I juet never knew I had 2 different colors on the car (I have only had it for just shy of 23 years lol).
Over?! its not over until we say it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!...Hell no! and its not over now!..(Germans? Pearl Harbor?...shut up, he's on a roll)

You are coprrect.  The first color code on line 2 from the bottom would be the exterior color...next to that might be the same color listed again fo rthe roof color if the car did not have a vinyl roof (this is true for "B" Hamtramck plant cars..... "G" St' Louis cars had the roof color on the tag regardless if it had a vinyl roof or not)
The second color after the seat code (for ex C6G Green vinyl buckets) stands for the "upper door frame color" (in a Charger's case the lower door frame because we have luxurious upper door pads :thumbs: )

See this post for interior color options.....

If the car had a vinyl top, did they actually spray it with body color paint?  Mine is coded Y3 Y3 but when i took the vinyl top off to fix minor surface rust that was forming underneath, the top didn't appear to be painted completely.  Of course since it was taken off more than 10 years ago, my memory is a bit fuzzy.  I plan on repainting it anyway before i install a new vinyl top, i've long since killed the rust and covered it with primer to protect the surface.  I'm in the middle of re-stripping it now to get ready for a new paint job.

In Chrysler's eyes, why waste money by painting something that you would never see once it is covered by the vinyl top.

Thanks for the info guys.  Sounds like that was it.

I do have some recent pics I took 2 weeks ago.  I atteched one.  I have a sweet one of all 3 Chargers but I have to finish sizing it smaller.  You can't even tell the enterior isn't in it, lol.  I was using a carboard box for a seat, wife wasn't too happy I was taking it out on the road (even if it was just for a few spins around the block)
