Re: 1960 GMC Suburban

UPDATE: We pulled the front fenders to paint and there was a perfect unblemished or faded example of the color .. took the whole freakin' fender down to the paint shop to match it ..


NOTE: We were able to locate a color code we had decided on during my prior attempt to paint the beast. Picking up the new single stage green to get er' done...


Hi All, Hopefully someone can help me out. I am trying to paint my GMC Burb the original colors.. the bottom was a darker green like a Forest Green but the paint codes I can find show a lighter green. Does the VIN on these show the actual paint code if it was a two-tone ? Anybody have a better paint code list than I have been able to find ?

Well if you ever need the original paint color on a 1960, and your fenders are original and never removed .. this area is protected with a rubber gasket and shows the original color ..
