The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread

[likaroc13]

Getting ready to put my '66 back on the road, & I believe we've decided to pull the 327 engine for some changes. While it's out, I'd prefer to change the color from orange to a more factory correct green. I'm curious what the current consensus is on the correct (I know there's no 100%) shade of green? Upon doing research here on the forum, I've read about the Alpine green being a bit too light & Ford green possibly being the closest. I also read about a Buick green possibly being a close match. Lastly, I saw where a NOS green paint was sprayed out for comparison, but even it was debated as to whether it needed tinting a bit. I'm not sure if that ever took place to get a better match or not. Any updated info on this subject is greatly appreciated!
