Title: Need help finding this paint!
Post by: Phil. on November 30, 2015, 11:25:24 pm

Hey all, I've searched and searched but cannot find this paint online or anywhere! Glove box says 64L Desert Sand Metal, but everything I've read says that's a '72 paint code and this is a '85. I'm planning on repainting it soon all the stock color, it's also two tone which was not factory either so I'm stumped.


Thanks for any help.

*edit won't let me post pictures from my iPhone.

Get an app called simple resize and then you should be able to post pictures

I'm guessing its the darker color you want, as the lighter tan is Mahogany Custard, though I don't recall the code.

When I look up 1985 GMC on www.autocolorlibrary.com I get 64 being Light Saddle Poly.  Just above it is 61 that is Tan.

Is it possible that someone painted the Tan color in the center after?
