Paint Colors
« on: January 07, 2008, 07:59:09 pm »
I was just wondering why that in the paint color books some of the colors- like i know that grecian bronze for my 75- are way off the color that they really are. i noticed that for grecian bronze- pretty much orange- at napa there book shows it as a crap brown color. a couple online sources i found show it as a pure red color.

If you have a sample of it just go to a good body shop and then can match the paint code with their pen.

just make sure if you are taking a sample off your truck, that it's from behind a door panel or something so it's a GOOD sample...
