Ext paint code K1 for 1998?
I found some accessory items on eBay that would fit my 1998 F250LD XLT 4x4. They were painted portofino blue but I was calling my truck light denim blue. Are these 2 different colors? Does anyone here have pictures of trucks these colors? My truck has paint code K1. I'll try to add a picyure to my gallery so check that if needed. Thanks.

Not as simple as it sounded but hey, I got the pics in. I need to know if this truck is light denim blue as I believed or another color. I found steps that are portofino blue but I suspect they are darker than mine. I have a 1999 sales brochure that only list deep wedgewood blue and it is much darker. I believe that my K1 color was only offered in 97-98. I see a similar truck in F-series Accessories catalog from ~99 and I know same paint was used on earlier F-series and T-birds. What is portofino blue though? Anyone familar, please look at my gallery/albumn and comment? Thanks.

The shop manual that I have doesnt give paint codes for your truck. It just says "Refer to the paint manufacturer code book for information" 
The 1997 manual shows Portofino Blue as code XC so i think that what you have is different.
According to http://www.sherwin-automotive.com/formula/ your truck is Light Denim Blue.
Good looking truck btw
