Dang, no one knows what there paint colors are... napa, PPG charts, nothing. I hate to guess at the color because this is not a complete respray just a hood and dually fenders.

Just had to do a Goggle search on GM paint codes and Walla, it took a whole 10 secs to find.

It's about 1/2 way down the list, 55 Russet. And then the codes for the other paint manufactures.

Why do you say this?

The numbers don't lie: 55U = WA8591, which is why we go by the paint codes.

Noun names don't matter (Copper Canyon = Russet = Root Bear Metallic, etc) , and it is also very difficult to compare via computer monitor and hard copy.
