i am trying to get an idea of what my suburban may have looked like with factory paint as it has been painted over the RPO codes i have for it seem like a funky combo to me but this is what i have
83U Primary color, exterior, Med Saphire blue fm 20L Secondary color, exterior, Lt Quasar blue Met 73A Stripe Color, accent, 2 tone, vermillion/carmine the truck has a factory dk red interior kinda sounds like an odd looking duck to me does anyone here have anything of this likes weather it by truck, suburban, or k5?

Re: original paint
it's a dark/medium blue 2 tone with the colors seprated by a orangeish stripe. At first look it looks like a light/medium metallic blue center panel on a black upper and lower. On second look or good lighting you can see that the upper and lower are a blue not a black. There's one roaming around my town. Looks like an interesting aftermarket repaint at first, a little odd but not disgusting. then it kind of grows on you.
I have never seen it on a square truck, think it's 88-91 exclusive.
