Re: Truck Paint Color
Welcome Everitt. If it's original, I'm guessing Light Blue Poly. I think there were two shades named that in the 80's, but it might be a place to start if you ask your painter for a sample. if it's not original, then we can only guess. Nice color.

Re: Truck Paint Color
Looks like the color my 85 started out as before it all fell off!
Very close to medium blue of the 71-72s |

Re: Truck Paint Color
Some paint stores has a machine that reads the paint that tells them the mixing ratios

Re: Truck Paint Color
Opening the photo into Photoshop and taking a sample from the upper part of the bed, where reflections are the least, the RGB color code value comes out to:
R: 77 G: 131 B: 191 Knowing the red/green/blue values listed above, there is an RGB color to paint code match calculator here: http://www.easyrgb.com/index.php?X=SEEK Enter in the RGB values from above, then select the desired manufacturer. I set it for PPG and there were several paint code numbers that come up for a match.
