Hi
I'm having my '73 Ranger repainted to the original color, Limestone Green Poly, code U.

I've been wanting to paint it (back to the original) since I bought it in 2002, so I really want it to be right and I'm looking for suggestions on how or where to get that color. The guy painting it had a little mixed but it seems off to me, and of course, once it's painted, it's painted.
Any suggestions?

Thanks
Mike

TCP Global Auto Color Library web site.

1973 Ford Truck PPG Commercial color chart.

#2412 Limestone Green Poly (a metallic color) Code U

#8378 Wimbledon White (Roof color)

#22780 Light Parchment semi gloss for interior trim.

I would put some flattening in the semi gloss and make it more satin.

I used this information to match my 1970 in Carmel Bronze Poly and it was a dead on match.

Good luck on your color match.
