Help with paint code?

[conny8412]

Hey all,

Lookin to get a fresh paint job on my 87. I've always loved the darker silver/charcoal metallic color and I'm trying to find the right fit. I'm attaching a picture of almost exactly the color I want. Any guess in paint codes? It's is not GM cyber grey. The color I like is more deeper/darker/wi more metallic. Thanks for the help!

Official GM color codes for 1986:

I had it set to show only 86 C/K trucks (large chips) but it won't stick. You'll have to drill down to 86 trucks yourself. Take a good look around the entire site - the selection of paint variations is huge.

I'd say hit up Derek. dhamp is his user ID. He had his truck painted recently, as in the last couple years and it looks to be that same color. Great Choice BTW.

I found dhamp's photo album. Here is a link to his profile so you can send him a PM. I'd include a link to your thread and have him take a look at it.

This color looks close, but its hard to tell. What is the code on that? I will try to do some research.

Hard to say, Cameras and Lighting are different too.
