Paint Chip/Colors Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Lurayfarmer · 04-08-2015, 12:19 AM

Might anyone on this board have detailed information on the 1970-1972 color codes 521 and 522? Code 521 is white, while 522 is variously called "Copper" and "Medium Bronze." I have found various color code numbers (Ditzler, PPG, Sherwin-Williams, etc.), but it's much easier to go into a auto paint supplier with the exact mixture ratios. I'm just planning to get touchup paint as the truck has already been repainted. The nearest paint supplier with a paint scanner is a very long drive from my farm.

If we knew what paint company your supplier will be using we can give that company's code. They should have access to the mixture formula, though. They should be able to make your paint off the PPG code #2202.
