Wylder1324 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I realize I could potential find this with the 'search' function but I'm in a pinch and don't have much time at body shop...just realized what I thought Id selected isn't right code. I'm looking for the sort of seafoam green color that came on the L320s. Upon further review I didn't find it in the search. 1 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 That is not the color the truck left the factory with. Even if it is original paint, it has faded, after 50 years. Even if not all the years were in Texas. You could go to an auto paint store, and look at a color chip book. Find a green close to the truck. Or have the paint store shade, or tint the paint. 1 Quote Link to comment
Wylder1324 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I think it MAY be 554-Mint Green. I've seen several 320s this same color. 1 Quote Link to comment

difrangia Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Have the panel you want to match cleaned up nicely and have a competent auto paint shop spectragraph scan it and mix/tint to match. Steve Quote Link to comment
Wylder1324 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I will def have it matched I just wanted to have an idea of what the actual code was if I could. Quote Link to comment
Wylder1324 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 What I am actually doing is having a 1965 Schwinn Bicycle that I picked up paint matched to my 65 L320. 1 Quote Link to comment
