Here gos. I want to paint my '41 pickup the original factory color of brewster green. I have no idea where to get a formula for this so that the paint people can mix it for me. And if I do, will it be only for enamel or will the formula work for today's paint. Sorry, I know allmost nothing about any of this.

Brewster green is still available in most paint lines, but not all. It depends on which brand you go with.
The actual GM paint code for Brewster green is 267, If that number doesnt come up, try the Dupont number which is 93-2015. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 28 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 28 | I have been trying for weeks to find Regal Maroon . Here in the uk my paint shop can't match all the us paint refs I have given him.
However he has now given me a lechler colour book
Any help would be appreciated

The original codes are no longer available | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 | | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 | That might be available in Glasurit or SpiesHecker also.
Glasurit still has some of the old GM truck colors available.
I have a pint of Brewster Green that I mixed myself in 55 Line.
