Whats the paint code for that color?? Also truck is coming along beautifully!

 

Truck was painted when I got it, but it appears to be Dark Baltic Blue Metallic Clearcoat HQ9/CE or a repaint very similar.

 

The gold wheel code is hy2. The dupont formula # is c9266; Sherwin Williams formula # is 38096

Ok, let me know what you think.

 

Since I have the wheels, I'm considering making it a 'Golden Eagle' Comanche with the below as inspiration.

 

Maybe add golden eagle decals on hood. Circle eagle decals on sides. Don't think I'll go with the large bird decal on hood.

 

Eventually converting interior to tan.

 

Sound cool or retarded? All opinions welcomed. Thanks.

Good choice on the Ravine wheels. Me likee.  :thumbsup:  To dress up the two front center hubs, you can pick up a pair of these:

The 1.790" diameter is close to correct for the 2WD MJ dust caps. I had them on my rig when I had the Ravine wheels. They are a little loose w/o a shim; I simply cut out a 1/4" strip of aluminum from a beer can, formed it around the edge of the cap, then tapped them in. Better than painting the old rusty dust caps.

Thank you sir!  Ordered them from JEGS!  $5.99 + free shipping....   :banana:  

Have to find a new use for the silver spray paint now!  :doh:
