1957 3100 Short Step.

A friend here used McCormick's "Cote All" (Alkyd Poly) to paint his truck and I want to do the same.

Unfortunately, other than the cab, there's not enough of my 767 Royal Blue left on any removable part that I could take to my local store. The store seems to keep banker's hours for some reason, so I can't even drive the truck there to show them.

Does anyone know of a paint code I could give the McCormick guy that he would understand and could use to formulate the correct color? I don't need it to be a perfect match.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Thanks Bill,

Something told me you'd come through on this...

So, the McCormick guy should be able to understand Ditzler and Dupont then?

Best,

Jim

no telling if those numbers will translate, but it's a place to start, the 2nd link with the Ditzler/PPG #12174 might be the most "modern"
