Help with Paint Color

Hi all,

Im new to the forums. I just picked up a '73 F250 Camper Special. I am trying to figure out the paint code so that I can spot in things as I work like when I change out the rear window seal. The driver door was changed out and the ID plate is no longer there. I have ordered a Marti report but hoping someone has the same two tone paint job and can help me out. I believe the white is the Wimbledon White and I think the green is Mill Valley Green but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated. And any help on finding a roof skin in the WA area, Im located north of Seattle.

Thanks

Wimbledon is correct. I've heard of Mill Valley (it's in NorCal), but have never heard of Mill Valley Green.

Marti Report will list the correct color, because it's taken from the original build sheet.

Probably better off taking it to a paint shop that has a scanner and they can match it that way. Being that its aged you might come closer to a match. At least the computer could probably help nailing down the closest code. Looking at the Automotivetouchup.com site there are 2 or 3 possibilities considering there may be some variation with the digital image to actual.

Mill Valley Green is Color Code F, a 1973 Ford color only used on Econoline and Club Wagon.
Winter Green is Color Code Q, used on 1973 Pickups.
Wimbledon White is Color Code M.
Your truck most likely has the Combination Tu-tone codes MQ.

For a roof that is in WA look for a guy on Facebook by the name of Justin Beck, he has a bunch of trucks to part out.
