I wanted a woodgrain glovebox in my ochre truck but hadn't been able to find decent one. I finally taped off the woodgrain and sand blasted the black one I had and painted it. I found this paint at oreilly's today and it matches fairly well. I didn't want to buy special mix ---$$$ so I was glad it find this for touch ups. It is not perfect match ,, maybe just one shade lighter but maybe my dash is just a little dirty also. Anway the paint is krylon farm and implement enamel #1819
called old euipment yellow.Pretty close to Ochre. Seems about right since my truck is old equipment!

There is a company www.towerpaint.com that can make any color you want in an enamel spray can. I have used them myself before and I was very happy with them. Just call them with the proper code number from a PPG paint book and then you have a match for your truck.

Or you can get a reuseable/rechargeable aerosol can and get a pint mixed at the paint supply shop:

Someone better PM Da-burb ! He's the Ochre Lover of ochre lovers!

That looks to be a great match,for less $.For blending or patch-work,most good paint suppliers can custom-mix a sray can.Mine gets like $16.

I might have what you would call a major problem with that color. The problem is I still don't have an OCHRE blazer or an OCHRE short box fleet! That's my problem in a nut-shell.

...and I have a half gallon of ochre left from my burb repaint. I used one of those pressurized baby food jar sprayers to paint my fire wall while the engine was being rebuilt. It worked exceptionally well for that small area. A glove box door would have been even easier.
