1974 Manta Luxus Paint Color

[gsposse44]

Hi,
My Manta's information plate is listed as L235HH112. In my 1974 service manual HH is listed as Jade Mist which wasn't available for Model 57L. I can't find any signs of a repaint. Could this be an aftermaket paint job?
thanks!

ps--been cleaning all my contact points/wire connectors and such for the past 2 days....tedious but necessary. Just about every ground connection was filthy.

The original paint # is 235 = Monza Blue [metallic] that is the color I can see around the tag plate

OPEL L235 BASECOAT STRATO BLUE MET 1969 - 1972
OPEL L235 SINGLE STAGE STRATO BLUE MET 1969 - 1972

235 M Monzablau - Monza Blue '68 - '73

Forgot to add:
Monza Blue is what it was called in Europe, the same color was called Strato Blue in the USA. Why the name change,... ask the Marketing Dept. @ Buick.

Monza made the Europeans think of the circuit in Italy....in the US it made people think of the Chevy...and Buick couldn't have that now could they....
