Anyone know what color of Blue?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This is JoeyAnderson's nice new C-10 and unfortunately for me he doesn’t know the paint code. I really like this shad of blue and was wondering if anyone recognizes what it might be??

That looks very similar to the blue on the late model Vettes. I think it's Nassau Blue metallic?

Sometimes called "Maui Blue" or "Hawaiian Blue" depending on year, and/or GM division.
My '71 Jimmy was repainted that color, not original, so no SPID paint codes. It's basically a medium blue metallic. I think the process was
1] black primer
2] silver undercoat
and topped with
3]translucent mid blue.
But I'm no body & paint guy.
It's 0300 now, so I'll check out some DupliColor touch up cans I have in the shop later. We can at least come up with their paint can p/n s.

Looks like Hawaiian,like used on`78 trucks.But,these are names and the code/formula is what you need.I`d get a scan as suggested.It`s real accurate from my experience.

Hawker7 · 11-03-2008, 08:15 AM

great, thanks for the help guys. Joey is going to try and get the color scanned but if he is not able to hopefully we can find something that is close.

BP68 · 11-03-2008, 02:32 PM

Any idea if it is a correct year color?
Looks similar to my truck and it is 04 SS Silverado Arrival Blue.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 11-05-2008, 06:31 AM

Here's the code from my touch-up spray can of Duplicolor -- DSGM 423 MED MAUI BLUE.
SKU: 0 28916 13423 3
My guess is the 423 is from GM's RPO paint codes.
