paint code ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a '54 Chevrolet 5 window pick up that I'd like to paint a dark GM green. I found the color I want on a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban. I believe the color is called Dark Forest Green. Anyone here happen to have one like this or know what the paint code is? :

Thanks, Daniel U

Daniel, check the glove box sticker on that 02 'sub and start looking for any 3-digit codes that end in 'U' or 'L' . (that stands for Upper & Lower.) If you can find two codes that match, that are numbers in the first two spots (like 29L & 29U ) that will be your code. Take that to any store that sells automotive paint and they should be able to mix it for you.

On that same sticker, look for the WA number. It will be the bottom line on there, and will be followed by BC/CC (Basecoat/clearcoat). That is the number the paint will be mixed from, the top color will be first.
