79 F100 Paint codes

I have a paint code marking on one of my f100s its (TM) and for some reason i can't find it anywhere in my books. The truck was built in canada do they have their own paint codes?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 20-Apr-02 AT 10:50 PM (EST)]Click the link to the code reader on web site , Just below my truck photo.
All the colours are there.

TM is probably a Two Tone paint.

H3 was a new code for 79.
I'm still trying to find out what is reps.

The J means Power steering.

Maybe you meant H3J? The J always is on the end of the code.
