First of all, hello to everyone, I have been spending my summer off on a service job for work and not getting much done on the truck, and havn't been around here much either. Anyways, here is my question:

My truck seems to have had many paint jobs in its life so far, at least 3 colors that I have noticed. I just pulled out the windshield, and I like the color that I found, but I am having problems identifying it. Since it is under the seal, and there dosn't appear to be any colors under it, I belive this to be a stock Chevrolet color

My camera hasn't captured the color quite right, but it is close. Being a 1951, does this look like a Seacrest green? I am only guessing, I cannot seem to find an example of this color.

Looks like 1951 Chevrolet Truck Windsor Blue, 93-63225.

Ok, I guess a better question would be if anyone has a picture of a truck painted Windsor Blue? (thanks CarKook). Maybe I should just buy a small can and try it out myself...

Try taking a little rubbing or polishing compound to it. May help to bring out the color. I'd also say it looks more like windsor blue but could also be a faded seacrest green.
