Does anyone know the paint code for the darker of the two blues used on Advance Design trucks?
The truck currently on this sites home page appears to be the right color.
Any help is much appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | What year?
Mariner Blue is a dark blue but that name had two different codes during A-D years (up through '52; and '53/'54/'55-1st?). The lighter blues used over the A-D years were named Windsor Blue and Transport Blue.
Most likely, Mariner Blue is what you are looking for. I will post DuPont and PPG (Ditzler) codes later today. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,966 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,966 | Hey tclederman While you are at it would you please post codes for 1950 Chevy standard dark green??? I think that was Forester. Or was it Juniper? Thanks

That would be correct for the dark green 1950 Chev truck? Thanks.

My truck is a '49 and Mariner blue is the color I was thinking about.
I used to have a copy of that very page you posted and for te life of me I can't find it.
Cheers,
Ray | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 587 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 587 | 40519 is correct for forester green, and 10419 is also correct for mariner blue. But my information says these are PPG paint codes. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | That's correct - Ditzler/PPG codes.
If you want DUPONT codes (or Acme codes), let me know. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 90 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 90 | I would be interested in the Dupont code for the blues if it isn't too much trouble. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | \'51-\'57 DUPONT codes. Note that DUPONT does not show two codes for Mariner Blue. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,966 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,966 |
