Good morning
I am in the process of painting the exterior of my pickup with export blue.That appears to have been the orginal color. I was wondering if there was an standard color or what may have been used. This is just a toy and not a show truck for me. There was nothing but brown rust and not much else in the cab to go by. I have looked in Jim Carter catalog and they show a brown color. I have a friendly paint store to mix my colors if I can come up with a code. I am amazed on how much help that they are and a little plug for them is English Color in Duncaville, Tx. Any info will greatly be appreciated.

Thanks Ed Taylor

Look at "hidden" areas such as the mounting flange on the mast jacket bracket. The paint doesn't weather as much there so you may be able to use the paint from that area for the mixer to match. Any painted area that isn't exposed to full weathering may be of help.
