Re: Brothers Truck Show

Does anyone know who owns the 55 seafoam green panel in the photos???

I am trying to paint my car the same colour and I am having a hell of a time with paint shops mixing the right colour. I would like to get in touch with the owner to find out more about the colour.


Thanks
Aaron

Re: Brothers Truck Show

I KNEW what the color was (I'm the one that posted those photos) because I spoke to the owner and now I can't find my copy of the photo with the name on it. I'm almost positive he told me it was a stock '61 or '63 Impala color. I know that's vague, but I'm POSITIVE he said it was an early 60's stock Chevrolet color.

Re: Brothers Truck Show

Hello,
Thank you for your swift reply and further information.

I knew it was a GM/Chev sea foam green but my dilemma is that thee was a LOT if variation amongst the seafoam/surf greens of that era as I'm sure you know. They also went under a few different names.

FYI, I have already had 5 samples mixed from 60-63 colours. Unfortunately none of them are quite right (most are way off) and it is very difficult taking old paint codes to paint suppliers in Australia who are a pain to deal with. I am now very close to painting the car and that is why I am trying to sort this out quickly.

I was hoping that if I could track down the owner I could pinpoint the EXACT colour and more specifically I was hoping he might still have the paint tin with the paint formula itself. This is what I am really chasing as I am working with vague details at the moment. Thanks for the info about 61/63 impala...I'll see if I can follow that lead further.

Keep in mind that colors can look vastly different from computer monitor to computer monitor. So even with the code the color might look different than the picture on your monitor. Your right though the exact paint code is the place to start.

Good luck
