correct resin color

[John Farwell]

Hey fellas! Anyone know where I can find some paint that matches the correct resin color for a midyear?? You know the "honey" color of bare fiberglass. I have a few spots that required patching on the underbody.

Thanks in advance.

Re: correct resin color

Each years fiberglass was different shades, my 64 was light gray with no honey color whatsoever, I have seen that shade on underbody of solid axles but not any midyears other than maybe a 63?

Re: correct resin color

I guess I should have clarified....this is for an early 63 which from what I've read has the same honey color as the earlier strait axles. Thanks Dan..

Re: correct resin color

My impression of the various mid-year(c-2 ) fiberglass panel colors: l963 up to about vin 21000- all these babies were yellow/tan panels like the 56-62s.Late 63 thru 66 were light gray. 67's , for the most part , were dark gray(charcoal) in color. Have and have seen pink, light green and white GM service replacement panels, but tan, lite gray and dark gray are all i have ever seen as original midyear panel colors.Might add that ALL 36 gal tankers(NO3) built from 63 to 67 , had yellow /tan rear quarters like early 63 vet panels. THE PAINT YOU NEED DEPENDS ON WHAT YEAR PANEL YOU'RE DEALING WITH. MIKE
