Either way, great color and nice how it blends with the white to make a killer two-tone!
saxart: Upon doing a little more research, GM used the "53" code gold on a lot of vehicles under different color descriptions. It's "Camaro Gold" for 1970 Camaro's.. Also called "Nugget Gold" and "Coronado Gold Poly"... All on different models and years. They even put it on GMC Trucks, '71 and '72 I think. Not sure of the name. So, it's a more common color than I thought, just not for a Camaro.

Glad all you guys like the color. Got the bed painted today, ran out of color. Back to Dupont in the morning. All that's left to paint is the tailgate and the white on the lower part of the bed.

Thanks again Guys!
