You know it's funny,I have a saddle interior for my '72 GMC and want to paint it some color in the gold-brown spectrum. There's nice polys but I thought about toning it down with a common color in a solid,like Ochre. I think it would look really good and my end up doing that yet. I never say or decide till it's time to buy paint,though. I realized that would be very uncommon because I coudn't recall seeing an Ochre GMC. I like the idea of doing something that looks like GM did but they didn't. That's my kind of custom. Anyway,I went and looked up the paint charts and saw that in 71/72 Ochre was a Chevy-only color. So,I'm surprised to see these GMCs with Ochre paint. Yet another exception to the rule. Check out a PPG paint chart and see for yourself.
