I'm getting ready to paint my truck and I'm wanting to stay as original as I can. Wanting to go dark blue and white in middle. I've seen where there us a midnight blue metallic on factory color cards. Does anyone know what color if white would have been on these trucks. Numberdummie can u help



This is not mine but its the colors I'm wanting

 

Really? ND?

Wimbledon White... Code M

 

my 78 brochure says Wimbledon white. Not sure if the same in 79

 

I'm too slow, hio beat me too it.

 

Color code M S Wimbledon white.... bright dark blue metallic

 

Here you go with the lighter blue.

 

Well HIO he always has alot of info. Thanks I have looked at that color card so can you just go to a parts store like oreillys and tell them that is colors u need for that year model?

 

That's the colors I want just with the white n the middle. That's pretty though

 

Oreilllys will probably not have it but it depends on your local store and how wrenchworthy the store owner and stock manager is.

Your best bet is to find a local jobber (or "color service") and have them mix a gallon and spec the compatible hardener, reducer, and clear coat. You've shot color and clears before, right?

Alternatively, Summit carries Wimbledon White as single stage..: Summit Racing Equipment® Low VOC Single Stage Paints SUM-LVS322G - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing

 

No im not painting it a friend is. We are just tryi km g to get the colors right. He is a body man by trade. Thanks for the link on summit I'll try that

 

For what it's worth I got my single stage at the local NAPA paint store. Good luck with it and post up some pics when it's done..... lots of um!!

 

That's good to know. I hope I can get it somewhere like that. It will be a while when I get it done. I have some pics of the truck I'm doing all of this on. I'm doing a cab swap. Got one that was two tone already so I would have the trim. Just look on my posts. Got the thing all apart now. Gonna sand blast and powdercoat the frame and build a new 351 windsor

 

Sounds good... go for it!
