what color code is this?
anyone know the exact color code and name of this Blazer Color??
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__atGqJUc7_..._blazer_4d.jpg 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: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...43U_WA299C.png43U/WA299C - Woodland Green Metallic http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1.../43_WA177B.png 43/WA177B - Emerald Green Metallic http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1.../87_WA309D.png 87/WA309D - Fairway Green Metallic |
Maybe post 97 paint codes were different, all I know is my RPO code is 43U
http://i41.tinypic.com/e9vime.jpg The paint I ordered & used was 43U Emerald Green Metallic http://i42.tinypic.com/205fsix.jpg 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. https://blazerforum.com/forum/pictur...pictureid=8416 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.
