Default Paint Shades

It will be interesting to see what the code I provided compares with your other paint. On my 4 M37CDNs, not one is exactly the same until you get down to the first coat. A couple of them have some unique door skin repairs with successive layers of arm bondo, each painted with the dark green. Drivers doors seem to be the worse for wear on all of them. The panel I used as a sample had at least 6 different coats on it and they came off in layers of 2 or 3 with a razor blade. The original coat stayed put and was buffed up to copy. Some of the newest coats on the same truck are chalky and quite faded, far more than on the others. I'm no painter but wanted to get a good coat on my truck to protect it and I like the darker shades best.
