I'm glad this nine year old mystery has finally been brought to a close. Now I can sleep at night.

We own a 1955 F100 with a color code on the vin plate of Y. We have had the paint checked out by multiple people and it has been deemed original and not re-painted. The color code is Mountain Green. We mistakenly assumed it was Sea Sprite Green looking at the Color Codes from 1955 but it is in fact Mountain Green. Mountain Green looks nearly identical to Sea Sprite Green. I hope this helps you! The paint under your second layer looks just like our Y coded Mountain Green 55.
