super402 Sep 19th, 09, 3:20 PM Im looking for a car that is the same as my factory colors to see what they look like. This is my cars paint codes:

rbwjr325 Sep 19th, 09, 4:02 PM I had one this color but it is the only one I have ever seen ,People say it an unpopular color but I like it.
super402 Sep 19th, 09, 4:04 PM I was just curious to see what it looked like. I have another color in mind and pretty much have my mind set, but would like to see the factory colors, just in case.
kblock108 Sep 19th, 09, 5:16 PM Try house of color, I have never seen that combo. Sounds cool though!
daveseitz Sep 19th, 09, 5:50 PM My wagon was Thatian Turquoise and it is an ugly color has a dirty look to it and doesn't pop in the sun. There are color chips here on the site with that color and see for yourself. Or have a pint mixed at a paint store and get the big picture.

JJ'65 Sep 19th, 09, 10:31 PM Mine is Tahitian Turqouise. Of course the paint is shot after 44 years in the sun, snow, sand storms etc. I remember when Mr. Buck bought it new. I thought it was a nice color. Bought it from him with 8,500 miles on it. It is a dark green metallic. Not what you might consider a ''turquoise" color. I thought mettallics were cool when I was a kid. Now just give me a nice solid color, preferably a light color that doesn't highlight dust, imperfections, and get hotter than hell sitting in the sun...I think I have an old Kodachrome slide from then that might show the color fairly accurately.
super402 Sep 19th, 09, 11:29 PM I have saw the paint chips for them. I just wanted to see an actual car painted like that. I know what color I am going with, but am curious to see what it actually looked like the original colors. JJ'65, if you happen to run across a photo, please share it with me. Even if it doesnt have the top color, the lower will give me an idea to start pondering on. Thanks guys.

There are photos of actual cars in the colors discussed in the link I provided above......
super402 Sep 20th, 09, 12:42 AM OK, I didnt know you had them linked to photos. Its not a bad color, but I couldnt imagine both of them on the same car. lol I will definately stick to my choice color.
DaleM Sep 20th, 09, 12:02 PM How's this? It's from the link on the paint color page.

super402 Sep 20th, 09, 5:35 PM Its not that bad of color. I dont think the two colors would look good together. I think I will stick to my color I have already picked out. Thanks for the help.
