Educate me on the double dash paint code
I know about the 4 special paint colors for the 1970 442. It seems like when you’re talking about double dash cars that 1970 is the year mentioned. I know that GM was pushing special paint for 1970. If you ordered a color other than Aegean Aqua, Sebring Yellow, Nugget Gold or Rally Red, was there a charge? What other years did Olds offer special paint that was designated by the double dash on the data tag?

The "- -" paint code was used across model years for special order paint. Be aware that Olds had RPO codes for multiple special order paint scenarios, not just the four not-so-special order colors that everyone knows about for the 1970 model year. These special paint codes were how cars got painted Mary Kay pink or Yellow Cab orange or police car black and white or even Plum Crazy. This process is well documented. Note RPO Y62, Y66, and Y76 for the 1970 model year.
