I'm restoring a C10 that was my Dad's and I'm trying to narrow down these two blue colors. I think the center is 2892 Light Blue and the other is 14965 Sky Blue but wanted to confirm my choices. Thanks in advance. Paul

I can't confirm those paint codes, but that's a badass good looking truck. Is this one yours or just a sample pic you found?

This is a sample truck I found but it is exactly like the truck my Pop drove to work for 20+ years. It was a 1977 longbed. I attached a color chart but just don't know.

In the above color chart, I'd be thinking the Medium Blue and the Light Blue above it. Keep in mind, when looking at swatches of color, they're always darker in real life on a vehicle. Notice that sky blue you think it might be is one of the Chevy Luv Colors.

I'm thinking 2893 brt blue poly, and 2892 light blue. Like HR said, the sky blue looks like a LUV truck color.

I'd say 2892 and 2188. And use a grey primer. You may be able to take a hi-res pic in and have it scanned?

I didn't notice Sky Blue was a Luv color..... I would guess the 2893 Brt Poly Blue would be the next closest. Also my dad always called the darker color " hawaiian blue" But I don't see that on the chart.

Last one...This truck is labeled paint code 25 Also but called Mariner Blue, Looks like to me the color I'm looking for is the Code 25 Med Blue on the chart above. Code 25 seems to be a common code with multiple names.

I believe the darker blue on this one is a metallic color.

I think everyone agrees the the center color is the 2892 Light Blue (Code 20)

And the other blue is between 2893 Brt Blue Poly (Code 25) and 2188 Med Blue (Code 23) also known as Hawaiian Blue.

I'm leaning toward the 2188 Med Blue (Code 23) for the closest match, as the Bright Poly Blue does look to be metallic to me and I'm positive my Dad's truck wasn't metallic. Agree/disagree? Thanks for the help.
