1972 Paint code
My paint code on the door says "o". I was looking through the archives but did not find any info on that particular code. I think it might be Seapine Green. Can anyone tell me for sure? As soon as I figure out how to shrink my pictures I will create my gallery Thanks!

If you look at the thread titled "68 ranger" in this forum you will see a list of colors for 72 and yours comes up as seapine green if I am reading it right.

The 1972 shop manual does not list any seapine green. Interesting, it shows p for med. green metallic and o for med metallic green. Other greens are lt. yellow green, lt. green, dk. green (two codes for dark green), med. mallard green, and med. ivy green.

I found the color chart in "68 Ranger" and it appears to be Seapine Green. Thanks very much for the heads-up everyone. I am looking forward to starting my project. I also found the original factory build sheet still lodged in my seat!! It's a little rough but still readable. If I can figure out how this damn camera works I will include a pic of it in my still to be completed gallery.

I believe the terms seapine green and med. metallic green are the same color.
