Re: 1968 Chevrolet Color Code
If it's stock gold it's 551 for the gold and 526 for the white/ivory, but that doesn't look stock to me.

Re: 1968 Chevrolet Color Code
Kind of agree that the pictured truck looks similar but the clear coat might be the reason. Here is a known '68 50th Anniversary. Might search through the board for 50th trucks and see how the colors look to you. Finally here is a paint chip card for Ditzler.

Whats the difference between this and the 1968 saddle metallic? They look very similar to me.

They are very different colors the 525 saddle color was used from 66-69. Unfortunately none of the pictures I have handy come close to bringing out the true metallic brown tone of the color.

The 50th 551 is actually a two-tone code used with the 526 ivory.

68 colors

Re: 1968 Chevrolet Color Code
That`s an 2000 BMW color according to the featured article written in 2006 Classic trucks magazine.

I have been admiring that truck myself since I found the pic a couple of years ago and was considering it on mine.

Re: 1968 Chevrolet Color Code
I could kick myself for not knowing the name of that color. There was Pearl Beige Metallic and this color. If you like that color I can keep my eyes peeled and snag the paint code for you.

Re: 1968 Chevrolet Color Code
Here is mine, we cut and buffed original paint on tailgate- it was a takeoff placed in dry storage and near pristine to paint store to color match my 68, this is about as close as you can get to the 551 anniversary gold in base clear.

There are two codes floating in this thread. Bruceman1968 and I posted the stock color codes for the 50th Anniversary Gold and Ivory colors and I gave a link for thoses who want to look for the BMW color. Since I have way too much to do I am not going to spend a bunch of time on a non-stock color code research.

So if the 2000 BMW code is what you want knock yourself out.

If you need a stock code not posted then clearly state that.
However all the 67/68 non-special paint codes are on the card at the top.
