Exclamation Paint Help ASAP

Alright boys here's a mission. I got the word out in the OBS forum but need some more eyes and help. I finally got my gauges and have the stupid black full a pillar that needs painted. I have a 95 F-250 XLT with the tan interior plastic. I am gettin my buddy to put the gauges in at his shop on Friday and need to find some tan paint so I can get this thing the right color. Checked diesel manor and dont know what tan will match. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

John

Did you try calling Diesel Manor? I think the tan used for the 99 is the same as the OBS but don't quote me on it. Short of that, pull your factory pillar off and take it to an auto paint store, they can match it and mix you up a pint and you'll probably not be out much more than buying a can from DM and having them ship it to you.

I am not sure it will work with your truck or not but Jim had posted something a while back about the color code being in your VIN number. I will see if I can find the post for you.

Go to some place like wally world and buy a small can of touch up paint. They even have a paint code book, they usually stock Duplicolor. You can go to their web site (duplicolor) and they will tell you where to get the paint code, door jamb sticker, and take the number and pick up a can and happy spraying.
