Hey, guys

Does anyone knows the colorname and colornumber/producername of this "Nauticblue" like color, (attached pics.) I have noticed truck owners sprying there trucks with this fantastic color.

Great if I could get some help Martinius:)

Here are two Mariner Blue trucks, R-M code #211, at a car show near me. Both trucks look to be close to correct in the restorations. Your paint store can contact the PPG color library and get a cross over to a modern paint formula. Most of these old color codes are for laquer paint.

His name is Tim Lederman. I don't think he visits Chevytalk much. go to stovebolt or oldgmctrucks.com and look for user tclederman. He lives in NY and is as nice a guy as you will ever meet. I have his e-mail address nut am hesitant to post it without his permission. If you don't find him, send me a PM and I will get you his e-mail address.

I sent him an e-mail with a link to this thread. Maybe he will check in sometime soon.

Martinius,

What year paint code are you looking for?

Note that the code on the Autocolor sheet is hand-marked correctly as a 47-52 code. If you are looking for a 53-55 code for Mariner Blue, it is lised on the page at the link I sent you and is posted in the other thread.

If tcpglobal (AutoColorLibrary) does not have the 53-55 Mariner Blue paint code, PPG does have it. Instructions for obtaining modern codes are given at the bottom of the page at the link I sent you. If you need assistance contacting PPG, I'd be please to help you.

Mariner Blue

Tim,

The chart does list both series of Mariner Blue.

1953 Mariner Blue is 4 down from the top middle.
 
Paint info

One of the 3 alternatives Mariner Blue or the Deep Purple Blue is the color i am looking for. Thank you for all great help guys. I`ll ask the local paint shop to make the paint in one of these colors for me.

Sinc. Martinius.:)
 
Original Colors

?? you don't like the original colors ?? Mariner Blue isn't like that Chromatic , modern blue you referanced .
 
That looks to be real close to Mariner Blue, which was the original color my 1953 1/2 ton came from Norwood Ohio Chevrolet plant.
It was a popular color then.
Cheers
