Thanks

To my knowledge, there's only Bronze and Med. Bronze Metallic. We just had it made up at the local O'Reilly's auto parts store. DuPont brand. I think the 522 code mentioned above is correct. I might have a shot of the can in my build thread.

Is it medium bronze? Or is it the burnt orange that you see on the newer Avalanches and HHR's?

Perhaps it's too close to tell.. It looked like the owner (being in Texas) was doing the burnt orange as a Longhorns fan...

Thanks guys. Looks like a burnt orange to me. I'm doing a short bed 4x4 frame off that was hugger orange and white. love it, butt when I saw that color on the front of lmc think it might have to be the one. looks to me like it has a little more orange in it than the bronze color you guys are posting. Cant really tell though.

[litew8]

No, not orange at all (mine). The variance you think you are seeing is due to the metallic + garage lighting and/or sun.
I'd guess and say the LMC cover truck is also med. bronze metallic.

If it's aged paint, you may find it difficult to match exactly. The clear coat really makes the metallic pop. If yours (clear) is faded...

I cant wait to see this color in person. litew8 picture up close really looks awesome. bet your glad that bug in the picture wasn't crawling around in that paint before it dried.

[litew8]

I kind of wish it had gotten cleared. I don't think it liked the smell of the paint that day.

Here are some pics of Med. Bronze Metallic before clearcoat
