Well - the paint was originally GM code 72...
when I had that formulated in Dupont Chromabase - it looked almost purple as compared to a buffed out , perfect spot on the fender... so, We did the spectro-flux capacitor color analyzer dealywhopper to get the paint matched to that spot...and it's a custom mix on the formula called "Tim's Red"  It looks more like the showroom color than the formula given for the original code.

 Waiting on the weather and on the dork who works on my truck ( me) to get it off the jack stands.
had one of the fuel pumps go out that quick - and am waiting on the replacement to arrive and the dork feller to git busy!
hopefully the pic can wait til I am back underway again?!?!
