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

ozarks hunter · 07-28-2017, 11:21 PM

Recently bought a 72 chevy swb and looking at the spid I cant locate the color for the paint code listed. It is marked as 4001PG- Paint.
Anyone have an idea what this would be?

Your truck was painted aspecial color at the the factory. Looking at the Spid it was probably ordered for a State Or Federal Government Agency.

We thought that might be the case. Probably some flavor of green.
There are a few on there I don't have a clue on. The permanent anti-free which I can imagine would be antifreeze? Consifnee caution f?

I found this via google-fu

So, Army truck, probably would have been Olive Drab.

Any original paint clues behind where the SPID is peeled up? That's some good detective work Steeveedee.

Next time I am at the shop I will investigate a little further. My son said he thought there was some green paint somewhere under the hood.

Thanks! That was a lucky hit.

Anyone have any idea if this is/was a factory color and if so what the code is?
The spid is missing from the glove box and I believe this was my original color.

Thanks!

Too funny I sent my resident color expert a picture of a Kia Soul in that green because I thought the same! But at least the original posters comment says Olive Green. That’s a good place to start for the return of my new project to original!

**jocko** · 02-25-2018, 11:13 PM

Medium Olive, RPO 504 (aka willow green met)

Knew this would be where I’d get the right color name and code!

Thanks!
