Rootbeer brown paint 1969?
I am trying to do a little research on a truck that I always liked as a kid, my neighbor had what I think was a 1969 K20 PU. (Still running the OEM wheels he sold my Dad for the burb today, and they are dated with a 1969 code).
I always liked the color of it, but I haven't found a member that has one like it yet? I know it was original, so it is a factory color. The color IIRC is kind of a metallic medium colored root beer brown with maybe a green tint to it? I don't know, it's be many years... If you have a picture of 69 or 70 K20 with this color I'd love to see it.

Re: Rootbeer brown paint 1969?
Nope, that's not it.
The color I am looking for is darker, with no reddish color to it. Man, this is gonna drive me crazy now. I have been diggin for pictures of 69/70 colors, and I haven't found it yet...

Re: Rootbeer brown paint 1969?
I think that is Dark Gold, paint code 527, (2204)
It is a 1970 color. Not listed as a 69. Hope that helps. |

Re: Rootbeer brown paint 1969?
Yea, I would agree with the dark gold description.
I just couldn't think of a description at the time other than root beer. Man, if I could find a 1970 K20 long bed with slot mags in this color. I'd buy it...

Re: Rootbeer brown paint 1969?
Yes it is in fact dark gold poly. Great factory, but unique color. I'm so tired of red, yellow, orange.

Re: Rootbeer brown paint 1969?
Here's a GMC for sale near me with that color, although there looks to be some primer spots;
