May be too late to save you time, but if you'd like to email a picture to me, I'll post it @ Yahoo and everyone can see the link. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I will send you the pictures direct. The truck looks great. The colors are unusual and they grab everyone's attention. We are fairly sure the main color is 1994 Ford Light Santa Fe, the red we are still unsure. After writing PPG and DuPont, both say scan the color, although it's not perfect, it may confirm what we know! I have checked with AJ Foyt Paints in Rosenberg, TX. They will scan the colors for me. Jesse told me the pigments for Light Santa Fe, and they do sound like what would compose the main color of the truck. Copper, silver, pearl, and black and some others I forget!
The pictures are on their way to you!
Can anyone tell me how to convert a 10 mega pixel jpeg file to HTML?

Dan, That is sooooo sweet. I can see why you would want to keep that color on the truck. It's sharp.
Thanks

- I've sent the pictures to you. As I said in the email the color combination is so unusual and really grows on you! It has some minor problems, but nothing that can't be solved and the price is right!

- Dan, Now you've got me curious also. Would you please send a copy to me as well. I love old trucks. Hopefully one of my next projects.
- Best of luck with the paint.
- Thanks

- It's on it's way. You'll see what I've been talking about in that is so unusual, but yet fits the truck. I wouldn't have chosen the colors, but they look perfect together!

- Thanks for the help Bill. I have sent you an email with pictures of the truck. It looks great other than some small blemishes. I will repaint the whole truck at some future time, but I need to touch up the problems for now, plus I want to paint the truck the exact colors again.
- The first owner got a divorce and cannot be found. The second owner came up with 1994 Ford Light Santa Fe number 4836. The color is so unusual, and I like it very much and will repaint the whole truck as it is.
- Thanks for the help!

- Dan,
- I'm a PPG jobber. The color you are looking for really isn't an issue. I use my PPG "Prophet" probably 8 to 10 times a day on the average. I find that as long as I have the computer make a formula in either Deltron DBC basecoat or PPG Global (my personal favorite) I have a 95% hit rate.
- Granted, if you don't plan on blending your repairs, even if you find the exact colors the truck was painted you won't get a 100% match.
- Paint chips aren't a true indicator of color either. I've seen variations in color books produced by the same manufacturer.
- Color match can be affected by a great number of things. Spray gun choice, different air cap / fluid nozzle combinations, air pressure, solvent choice, environmental conditions, painter technique etc.
- The truth is; You and I could each paint something with the same can of paint and end up with a visibly different color.
- Have a paint jobber read the truck with their computer and generate a formula. Have them print you a copy of the formula to save and you will never have to wonder about your colors again.

- Rick the paint website helped. I sent it to the owner and he thinks he knows the color. I will still get the color scanned to verify if he is right in Rosenberg at AJ Foyt's paint. We still don't know the trim color, but we're working on it. One problem is viewing the color on your monitor. I plan on checking the color chip out at a local body shop tomorrow.
- I have also sent emails to PPG and DuPont. What will it hurt?
- Again thanks!
