9w paint code

It's a dark charcoal. Only produced from 83_86 in ford.
DuPont code is b8358

I can't find a single truck with this paint on it. Mine has it, but it looks like a Matt black with a good clear sprayed on it ten years ago.

Does anybody have any pictures of it?
The inside of my cab is still gloss and looks great.

9W = Dark Charcoal Metallic = Ford basic part number: 5888

Also used on 1984 FoMoCo Passenger Cars, same 9W paint code, same 5888 basic number.

Try doing a google images on 83 ford paint chips. The sales brochure has them but printed. It looks just like it says...dark charcoal, not black.

I've googled for days. I'm more or less asking if people have any pictures because Google doesn't.
