I really like this color alot. I think it is medium green, can anybody offer any input and maybe what paint code it is. Thank you.

Yeah i did that, i know there is a 507 Medium Green, a 518 Medium Green and also a 529 Medium Blue-Green Poly in 1970. I just don't know which one this truck is painted, can't really tell by the colorchips. I could be totally off and maybe its a custom color. I don't know but i like it.

Thankyou for the info Tommy454 i'm not ready for paint yet just trying to figure out what i want to go with. I'm stuck between blue or green or maybe even white. I should be ready for paint in the spring so i guess i have time. It just drives me nuts trying to come to a decision.

71meangreenc10 i love your truck i have a picture of it saved on my computer.

It's not medium blue-green poly.First of all,it's purely green.And second,poly indicates metallic.Yours would be 518 since your truck is a '72.

Most of us call it sea foam green. That's what my truck is. It's a beautiful color, but you either love it or hate it...

Thanks Bennett, Just like it was said, you either like the color or not, I like it and the truck looks sharp.

Thanks for the responses. I really like the color just didn't know what the paint code was.

I would try a paint show. My truck looks more blue on screen, than in real life. I think the color would look quite different on different monitors.
Looks good though!
