anyone know the exact color code and name of this Blazer Color??



is this Fairway Green Metallic??

thinking about painting my blazer this color...

 

anyone?

 

I believe this is either emerald green metallic or fairway green metallic...

43/WA177B - Emerald Green Metallic
87/WA309D - Fairway Green Metallic

But after looking at the chips in the links above, it looks like it is the 87/WA309D - Fairway Green Metallic. I found those by using http://www.expresspaint.com/ and plugging in a 1997 Chevrolet.

WA309D is the GM paint code which translates over to PPG 5250, Dupont D9729, & Sherwin Williams 53516.

 

Well, thats not 43U Emerald Green metallic. 43U is my paint code.

 

43U is Woodland Green Metallic (43U/WA299C).

Here are the paint codes with a representative color:
43U/WA299C - Woodland Green Metallic
43/WA177B - Emerald Green Metallic
87/WA309D - Fairway Green Metallic

 

Maybe post 97 paint codes were different, all I know is my RPO code is 43U


The paint I ordered & used was 43U Emerald Green Metallic


And this is what it looks like in the sunlight. I painted the bumpers & end caps with those cans. Id say it matches pretty darn good.



EDIT: In case anyone is interested, the place i ordered the paint was http://www.autopaintdirect.com/

 

Look at the codes after the BC/CC and you will find L 177B which corresponds with the Emerald Green Metallic, not the Woodland Green Metallic.

RPO 43U meant a lot of different things on up through the years and should not be used to identify paint. Only the paint code should be used.

 

LOL thats funny. I guess I got very lucky then!

 

The can also said "CODE: 43,..."

 

It's not like the picture in the first post is color corrected and certified, either. Trying to guess what a color code is from a photo is a recipe for disaster.
