Palisade Green
Hello all . I recently found this site and have gleaned a great deal of information from it . I have recently aquired a 49 F2 flatbed . I have been a woodworker for many years so putting on the new oak bed and side boards will easy for me . As a not so accomplished mechanic the rest will be a challange . Fortunately a great deal of the mechanical work has been done by a previous owner , but lots of cosmetic work left to do including a new paint job , which leds to my question about colors . Although the truck has been repainted brown I believe the original color was meadow green and this is probably what I will have it painted . However in some old threads about original colors I saw a color chip of palisade green and really liked the color. I think it was only used on 50 models . Has anyone used this color and do you have pictures ? Its hard to tell to much from just a color chip .

Yes, it is lighter than the chip shown on the chart. When it first came out of the paint booth it appeared very light and grayish, but it seems that as the paint cured it darkened some. If you decide on that color Sherwin Williams and Martin Senour (NAPA brand of S-W) are the only ones that do the actual color.

I know this is a old thread but when researching palisade green I went with the paint code you posted. I went to a ppg paint store today and they called the main office and got the mixing instructions and mixed me up a quart. It looks a little greyish in the can but have also read that it looks like this until it dries some then turns greener. It looks closest to the color my dad's 1950 was in my avatar.
