526 Medium Gold - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CG · 05-04-2020, 09:36 PM

This is jmking9's truck. In his build thread he said the color is 526 medium gold.

I really like this color. Does anyone else have their truck painted this color, if so can I see pics of your 526 medium gold please?

**special-K** · 05-04-2020, 09:57 PM

Medium Gold Poly, that is. I've had a few that color, if I can find a picture.

CG · 05-04-2020, 11:31 PM

Sorry something happened with the pic, lemme try again.

One of my favorite color combinations.

I can't say for sure. I never looked into it, but always thought it was the same even though the code is different (551). I figured it looked close enough. I had 1.5 gallon left over from painting other trucks.

68Gold/white · 05-06-2020, 09:59 AM

So Tim,
The pickup in post 5 was yours?
That color looks like Anniversary Gold....Looks Good!!!

Thanks Jeff. Yes, it was a put together truck probably 15-20 years ago. That's buddy my old dog, Irish Red & White Setter. He looked good with that combo

tim_mc · 05-08-2020, 07:05 PM

Really like that combo. Very sharp.

factorystock · 05-09-2020, 11:58 AM

1970 was a pinnacle year for cool metallic colors. Most of these colors disappeared from the line up on '71 and '72 pickups.

jmking9 · 05-09-2020, 11:59 PM

Hey that truck looks familiar!
I've had it for 24 years and still love the medium gold.

It really is a great looking truck. There are a lot of great rides here on the board for sure, but something about yours really caught my eye. You did a nice job and I really like the color choice.

Astro-Balls · 05-10-2020, 01:17 AM

That is a great color combination.

**special-K** · 05-10-2020, 06:28 AM

The color really gets overlooked. It also gets all poopy looking when old and tired. People tend to judge a color by it's aged state. When I'd get a truck ready to paint and people would ask, "What color are you painting it?" and I'd say "Same color" I'd always get the "ohhh" of disapproval. Then after painted, "WOW! That looks fantastic. Great color!!"

The Medium Gold Poly is a typical car color from the mid '60s-early '70s. Think '67 Chevelle or Nova. I always wanted to do a C/10 in that color with gold vinyl interior like cars would be done. The same goes for the Aqua interior and Light Turquoise Poly paint

Thank you! It does have a unique look that you don't see often. It was all gold with a white top originally, but I added the upper trim and painted the white b/w the trim in 1996 when I was 14. I've been hooked on the look every since. So when I restored it, I knew I was staying with that combo.
And just like Special-k said, everyone thought I was crazy for painting it gold. The only thing I have regreted, was changing the interior to black. I will change it back to saddle someday if I ever get some of my other projects finished.

factorystock · 05-23-2020, 11:10 AM

Interesting update, 526 Medium Gold poly was used on 71 and 72 GMC pickups also, sorry 71 72 Chevy pickups

**RenoKeene** · 05-27-2020, 04:47 PM

That is a great looking combo.

Custom 68 · 05-27-2020, 05:03 PM

It is a great combo. Is the "white" truly the white or what? I assume it is since they don't have any off white colors.

Here's my 1970 Medium Gold C/10 in a couple different lighting conditions. Originally had a white roof. Will again some day.

So true, color looks different at different times of the day. Post #12 shows color at mid day, this photo at evening.
