It's been a while since I've posted on the stovebolt. ocean green Tim Hey Tim , very nice color! My 54' 3600 has that color on the firewall and I'm wanting to go back to it when I paint the Truck. So far I have not been able to get a "match", the local paint shop mixed up some WE5765 and its close but a tad bit dark. They were unable to reference the WE7917 / or PPG 44621 codes, so I'm still searching. Any chance they provided you with the formula ? My last ditch effort will be to schedule them to bring their "color camera" and sample the existing paint on the firewall / cowl.
