medium green paint code 518
Any pictures of medium green trucks. The gm paint code was 518 in 1970-1972. Pics with and without the white on top of the cab would be great.
Thanks. |

Re: medium green paint code 518
I love your truck. I was going to copy your look for my K20. Mine was just going to be the darker green, I think its 505. After this weekend my plans changed up a little bit.

Re: medium green paint code 518
More pics... First one is mine back 1989. The others are some that I liked and copied for paint comparisons. Not sure who they belong to, but may be forum members.

Re: medium green paint code 518
Yeah... light green was entirely a different color and would resemble my '69 CST:
This was my paint code, per the order sheet: Paint - 14533AD White/Light Green But according to this site, it would be referenced by: 530 - 43523 according to PPG Also try this site...

question about painted front bumpers
My truck will be 518 medium green with white on top of cab. It is a 69 c-10 and the only trim left is on the back of the cab where the white will stop. I'm trying to decide on a white front bumper or green. Would the truck have had a white front bumper from the factory? It was originally light green with white cab top.

Re: medium green paint code 518
Yes I know this is an old thread, but hoping some others will post their vehicles with this paint code.
