Hi,

Trying to see what my original pickup truck paint would look like new. Done anyone have a picture of:

Paint code: 790
Trim: std

For some reason I can't find one online. I have a few original panels that are faded now and it kind of looks pinkish.

Thanks!

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
