Paint color code???

I have a 1978 F-250 and for the most part its fairly clean. Bought it with a few dents and I finishing up the work. Im looking for paint!! I dont know if what I have is the original color or not. If someone could direct me to a color code/chart that would be awesome. Also my truck is a jade green, Ive got pics in my gallery FORDZILLA.

Either one of these will get you the code.

There are a few greens.

What is the color code on the door plate?

Nice truck! Did you paint it yourself? If so what kind of paint did you use and where did you get it from? I basically need to repaint my front fender because when I bought it the guy had slid into a tree and Im finishing up the dent removal... thanks

Thanks! No, I did not paint it myself. I had a friend of mine paint it. He works at a body shop and has for nearly 30 years. He used PPG base coat / clear coat paint. They have a PPG paint system at the body shop that can mix any color under the sun. The shop is in Northville Mi. They do great work. -Ed
