Default Re: F-1 factory paint colors

He wants to keep the original paint as it is a perfect barn find and he wants a truck that looks like a survivor. There are two small patches I have to do so that is why we were wondering the paint color so we can blend in the paint on the patch to match the truck.

It was listed for sale on Ebay. It looks like a nice dark blue color for what it’s worth. I guess if originality isn't super important just go with what you like. Modern paint makers and suppliers have the old formulas for these colors.
