Most of the top respected Blazer restorers use GM code 521 white for the top after applying the textured coating.

So I guess there is nothing from chevrolet that actualy says what the paint colors is? or if it is a flat or semi gloss ?
I would think some where there is documentation to verify the exact color, but mat be not.

I believe that the fiberglass is that color, not painted. Either black or white.

If you look at the specs you will see the color of your blazer will determine the color of your top. Also the year 1972 used I think 721 white.

We used Bobcat White. (The Skid Steer Bobcat). All we had in the cabinet was a can of Bobcat white paint and we used it. Turned out great.
