I need my 78 F150 Custom truck painted. My problem is the paint code - 27. My truck is from Canada and I haven't been able to figure out what the name of the paint is to match the code.

I bought paint in Tangerine, but it is way too light an orange.

Is it possible the 2 = Med. Copper and the 7 = Light Chamois?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Canadian exterior paint chart from 1973/79 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog:

 

This truck is Medium Copper.
The swatch looked way dark but on the truck it is brighter. I liked it enough i painted my CJ the same color

This is the orange you might have already

 

Thank you Bill for the paint chart.....it will be very helpful at the paint store.
