The car was originally Sherwood Green which should be G8.
Where it has the paint code my fender tag has KG8.
Does anyone know what the K stands for ?
and does anyone have a decoding sheet for 1974 they can share ? I have 69 to 84 but some of the codes are not in what I have.

Thank you

K represents the year the paint was introduced/changed.  FC7 is 1970 Plum Crazy for example F being 1970. K being 1974.

The K means that exact shade of G8 was introduced for the 1974 model year. Could be slightly different than G8 introduced in previous years. F is the 70 model year, H is 71, G is 72, H is 73, and K is 74. They skipped I as it could  be confused with the numeral 1.
