Re: Can someone PLEASE tell me my paint code
That is 46 Dark Green WA5282.
http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcod...=50&size=large There have been a number of names for it over the years and suble variations like WE5101. http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcod...=50&size=large In the end it is still GM classic truck dark green with a hint towards blue. Actually it is my favorite GM green. Not too sure how its going to look as a tinted bedliner though. If it were me a quality repairable single stage is the way to go and keep the color.

Re: Can someone PLEASE tell me my paint code
It is. Don't get hung up on trade names or worse yet the sales names GM marketing dreams up every year. Stick to the codes and you will be OK.

Re: Can someone PLEASE tell me my paint code
Thanks again tim...one more question, is it true that all these trucks (pre 1980) were "single stage" paint jobs from the factory, as there was no such thing as "two stage" back then?

Re: Can someone PLEASE tell me my paint code
To the best of my knowledge your truck was originally finished with a single stage acrylic enamel paint. here are the GM refinish codes for 79 trucks.

Re: Can someone PLEASE tell me my paint code
Tim is correct.
Base coat / clear coat did not start on trucks until around 1988. Your truck would be considered "high solid enamel". K
