So I have a 78 c20 custom deluxe.
I wanna know the name of the original paint color
Was gonna ask and happened to notice there's another thread on here someones asking about what almost looks like the same paint color on there truck.
I have no spid or build sheet.
Not sure if the lower dash has been repainted or not notice there's a little bit of paint on the plastic dash trim.

It looks very close to my other truck that is Russet. I used to have the color samples for chevy trucks but I can never find anything

Of course it’s Russet... figures I find that out after digging through five layers of overspray.

Yes please That would be great if you could.
I'm leaning towards it being the russet color but not 100% sure yet. It sometimes looks different depending on how the sunlight hits it lol.
