Burnt Orange Paint Code

Does anyone have the PPG paint code for 1973 Burnt Orange? The paint store can't find it and is having a hard time matching it with there camera.



1973 Blazer Cheyenne

The number on the sticker on the fender well is unreadable, it only says Burnt Orange.

Thanks. I have seen a few of those online, nothing matches up to a PPG code.

The metal dash is painted same color, maybe under dash pad for color gun sample

Thanks, I'm in the middle of an LS swap so the truck isn't drivable right now. I'm using the glove box door for a color scan. They have a couple of matches that are close, one from a Toyota. They're going to spray the samples on a test card and we'll see how it looks. I'm hoping someone already has resprayed this color and has the PPG paint code.

I really like that burnt orange color , especially with tan interior - good choice!

MAKE SURE to use the right color primer under it .

i know a guy who used to dark a primer and it did NOT look like the gm color after he was done . good looking job but the color was way off .

Thanks those are the original colors. I like that combo too. I did find a good color match to a Toyota color.

I recall a factory burnt orange color on an early Toyota Celica ( late 70’s ) that a girl in my neighborhood had - it seemed very close to GM’s 70’s color.
