1mrtimk · 08-03-2018, 05:56 AM

jeffg1010 · 08-03-2018, 06:10 AM

Mine also had ochre on the spid. Does it have another code? We didn't make the poll options

DeBattista · 08-03-2018, 06:19 PM

Mine's not Crimson Red it's Med. Red on the tag but the 514 Paint Code is what the truck is for sure, I just had some touch up paint made at the paint shop.

Of course ochre is on the poll and this topic is covered in above posts: RPO 511 aka Spanish Gold in GM literature to the public. See above discussion.

Who knows on this one. No SPID, and we haven't found any paint around the edges to tell us.

**DeadheadNM** · 05-12-2020, 05:30 PM

Whats on there now looks amazing.

**SoCoC10** · 05-12-2020, 05:39 PM

This one has it’s original Ochre/Spanish Gold paint everywhere on the exterior except on the areas below the trim on the doors and tub. Another Ochre/Spanish Gold.

Ptjsk · 05-14-2020, 12:17 AM

521 White!

Currently finishing up with the rest of the painting.

Doors off, tailgate off and painted.

Top is off and windshield is out.

Hopefully, be done by next week.

Mine was 504 willow green but the original owner had it painted forest green.

Post up some more photos when possible. It's a real nice Blazer.

**tim71** · 09-12-2023, 04:51 PM

My Blazer was originally "Firebolt orange" which I call Hugger orange. I'm not a fan of any shade of orange. The Blazer was missing enough of it's original equiptment that I felt comfortable in doing a color change during build.

**1970cstblazer** · 09-13-2023, 11:49 AM

Love the red Blazer with the no-nonsense white steelies.

CoolK5 · 10-12-2023, 08:04 PM

510 medium blue. Is this the same as Hawaiian Blue?
