The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop 66 paint code

I dropped my 66 half ton off to be painted yesterday. They could not find a paint code anywhere on the truck. Does anyone know the code for the red/orange color that oxidizes to an orange rust color after about 20 years.? Very common but i don't know what it is called or the code number.

Hello cabover,it's actually fourty years old and what kind of shop can't find a color,makes me wonder what kind of work there going to do! (just a thought)anyway enough negative mumble the code I found for a 66 chev truck red is 514 ppg mixing #70704 hope this helps and good luck!

Makes me a little uncomfortable too. Seems like it is hard to find people committed to doing good work these days. Thanks for the paint code !!! I will pass that along.

hey cabover i painted mine a 1997 chevy red orange its a truck line color but its really close to original if you want base/clear coat lmk ill get you the code if you like

Thanks for the suggestion Oldno. I went to the body shop last night and picked out a chip. I hope it is close to being right. Could you post a pic of yours ? Would love to see how it turned out.
