Stovebolt.com Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Forester Green

The discussion of whether or not the '49 3100 came in forester green got me doing a lot of Googling.

These links show forester being a stock color. So I'm pretty sure that's correct

@Builder do you have a link to the Juniper green color those codes make?

I know pretty much nothing on paint; the place painting my truck says if I get them the code they'll get the paint. So I provided them with the PPG code and when they provided me a sample, I told them to stop because I thought it was too kelly green.

Has anyone used this paint from Jim Carter?

Thanks again guys!!!

Attached are pictures of the truck I matched it to and the paint that I had made up many years ago. This is just acrylic enamel, but you can clear over it if you get the right guy and do it. Of course new paints are better.

many times the color "name" is the same color use for other brands of cars too.

some pics of similar colors

Roxxstar,
Here is the formula for the Forester Green for my 1950 3100.

Thank you!!!!

Yeah, great info. Thanks

I know this post is old but I may have some useful info for others. The truck in that article “retired nurses....” is not seacrest green or forest green. The color is actually an Austin color, 1958 GN13. I liked the color so I inquired with the owner.
