Mine is, well WAS 7 coats of X colors later. And under my fenders are this color as well as hood. Beings I havent a clue as to what it is to look like. (black fenders or not...think not..but never know) and interior color as well. I am not in the least bit fond of this color, and being a long bed (1T) that is a AWEFUL lot of "ocean" ya know!
Thanks guys!

I told you in a e-mail that it was Ocean Green and that 1953 was the first year for that color.
Go back and check your e-mails!!
I used a 1953 Chevy Truck color chip by Dupont to mix the paint. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 146 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 146 |

Like I had told you "I must see and read things differently then most."
Your truck IS ocean green,
my truck IS ocean green...
just our GREENS are different.
No "surfs" no "waves" no "foams" just darned
OCEAN GREEN
