Paint color help

Post by Pbot »

Hello all

I have a 1971 d200 and am having trouble finding the OG paint!

It is a us navy crew cab. No paint code on any tags. Not obvious from the google searching I have done. Ppl have said it is us navy battleship gray, however that ain’t it. It has a blueish tint to it.

Anyways, does anyone have first hand experience or knows whether this was a government or Mopar paint?

Any help would be appreciated.

It might be useful to get a color match and work from there. I don't know if the instruments are portable enough to get one directly off a door jamb, but one would think that would be the place to look. I suspect the catch is painted, in which case one could take off the three screws, clean it up, and go for that, but I'm just guessing.

Copy.
Thanks guys, I figure I would need to get it analyzed. I guess the paint just isn’t very common…
