1969 D100.


I think that this is either 'Light Green Poly' or 'Medium Green'.

Whaddya think?

THis is the color I want to paint it:



Thanks for your help.

Looks like "TURF GREEN" used '61 through at least '68 and then they changed the name. Not sure if it's the same "Medium Green" color on the 69-71 or not. Remember, differences in "colors" can be how much they've faded over the years compared to a "NEW MIX". Plus the color will only be as good as the guy mixing/tinting your paint.

Could just be the picture, but the OP truck looks like oxidized Desert Turquoise to me.

Yeah, I think you're right... the first picture is just a "little" hard to tell exactly due to the lights and shadows on it. But, I am 99% sure that the 2nd photo is the Turf Green.

Thanks. The 1969 PPG Color page that I found (via this website & TCPGlobal http://www.autocolorlibrary.com/aclchip ... k-pg01.jpg) doesn't show 'Turf Green', but I think you guys are right about the color....think that PPG must've changed the name by 1969.

FWIW, the top pic (my truck) came out looking more turquoise than the actual photo. I dunno how it got to look so different once it was uploaded. The color actually looks like that 'Turf Green'.

Anyway, I think I can navigate the actual mix w/ my paint shop. I appreciate the help.

The second pic is not a 69, and it does appear to be turf green.
