I thought this would be easier, but I need a little assistance.

What color is this?
Picture of the paint

This is on a 1954 Chevrolet 3100. I am assuming this is the original paint. I would call it "turquoise," but there is probably an official name for it for 1954 that I can cross reference the paint numbers.

Also, what is the best, recommended resource for obtaining this paint color in a spray can?

Many thanks!

For some reason that link didn't "link," so here is a direct link to copy and paste:

Your link isn't working. However, here's a few links with original color chips that might help you decipher what you have if it's an original color.

If it is bluer, it would be Transport Blue, if it is greener, it would be Ocean Green.

Informatn on codes, and links to olor chps re found in the Stovebolt.com Tech Tip.

The paint chips a distorted by age.

I don't know why the HTML is disabled for me (probably because I'm new). If you would like to see the color, copy and past this link to the Flickr picture:
