Paint Code 561
New to the forum. I just bought my 1970 SWB. The paint code is 561 which I know is two tone medium/dark gold. I haven't been able to find pics of this color combo. Anybody got one or is this an unusual look?

Re: Paint Code 561
Pretty sure I don't have a picture. It was as far as I know pretty uncommon. The actual color codes are a 527 Dark Gold Poly primary body color with a 526 Medium Gold Poly roof in the conventional two-tone scheme.

Re: Paint Code 561
Here is the only truck I could find on the forum. Don't know if it's original paint or not.

Re: Paint Code 561
I didn't know it existed, but I have just become a huge fan of it

Re: Paint Code 561
I don't know about the paint combo, but that white over blue over white 'burb in the background is my personal favorite! That's like MR Station Wagon.

Re: Paint Code 561
That truck is all original paint. The location is a member's house in GA and the time was about '04. I came close to buying that one. Very very nice and unique while being all factory. That's my kind of custom!

Re: Paint Code 561
So, you want the Medium Gold with Dark Gold accent rather than the Dark Gold with Medium Gold accent, right? I'm not sure I have ever seen one. But that '70 shortbed in this thread is those two colors, although reversed. I hope someone does come up with what you want. I'd love to see that combo, too. You have a pretty unique truck

Re: Paint Code 561
That's my old truck. Never seen one with colors flipped and haven't seen many with the combo on Truck like I had.

Re: Paint Code 561
According to the chart posted earlier in this thread by SS_Tim it goes like this:
560 = Main body color (Med Gold) / Secondary color (Dark Gold) 561 = Main body color (Dark Gold) / Secondary color (Med Gold) So, special-K, here is the only example of the 560 color code that I've ever come across. There are a few more pics on Dave Porter's Instagram (@cousindave_porterbuilt). When I saw it I seriously considered painting my roof Dark Gold, although mine was originally a white top. |

Re: Paint Code 561
I like. Honestly I don't see many of either color. Didn't think I'd like the flipped color but I was wrong.

Re: Paint Code 561
Thanks for the replies! My truck is a 561 like the one at the top. I bought mine a few years ago and still haven't got it ready to paint. (Getting Closer) I just wanted to see if there were any other pics of this rare code.
The one on this thread still seems to be the only thing I've seen. |

Re: Paint Code 561
It’s definitely the only other one I’ve seen too. It seems pretty rare to see dark gold to begin with much less with a gold roof.
I’m fond of the dark gold because my first car was a 1974 Camaro in a very similar color. |

Re: Paint Code 561
Both very nice and unique color schemes but I prefer the 560 paint combo.
