My '65 C20 is in my son's auto body shop now for some work and a repainting. I want to use the original paint code which I believe is 510 for turquoise. Is this correct?

the factory paint code won't help you match that color, too old to cross to modern formulas, best if you have a good sample to computer match .... but yes, 510 was turquoise

Thanks Bill. I believe the firewall still has the original paint. Perhaps they can scan that with the camera for a match.

If you want to see if PPG has an original formula or a modern "offset" pain code, call their color library at 1-800-647-6050.

Give them you year, color name, and paint code. Give them PPG code 43276 ( from the link that Bill posted ).

That code is shown on the TCP Global website - it looks like they might sell a paint for that code.

Thanks Tim. My son found it today at NAPA under the original code number. Hopefully they will get it right.
