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 Foyts paint. We still dont know the trim color, but were 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!

His name is a popular one and I found about 100 Jim Baird's with no assurance any are him. What can you do to find out what colors you have on a vehicle? I know the truck was painted in Austin, TX., which should narrow it down to several million choices. I need some spiritual help! Surely there is a way to run a spectral analysis of a paint color. I was told the colors are Chevy colors that are about 17 years old! I have my doubts. The truck was in a magazine called Pickups and Panel Trucks I was told. No one has heard of the magazine including the editor of Primedia Publications HELP! What do you use to convert a Jpeg Pic to HTML? Dan Mascheck
Re: [Chevelle-list] Custom Paint color?
The best way that I know of to do it is take a piece of the vehicle that is painted and you can remove to an auto paint place and have them put it on a spectrograph to breakdown the colors that are in it. Tom

Dan- Don't rely on a picure to accuratly represent the colors of your new baby. Good paint stores should be able to take a machine out to the vehicle to analyze the paint color and reproduce it.

I know this is off topic, but I'm buying a 1946 Chevy Truck. It has a few paint spot problems I want to correct, but I don't want to repaint the whole truck. Even if I had to paint the whole truck I would want it painted the same colors. The problem is, the original owner that had the truck painted, got a divorce and moved away, and to date I have not been able to find him!
