So I looked up the original paint info from the gmpartsgiant.com vin decoder. Ran my vin, this is what came up. Everything looks correct based on what I have/had for options. What I cant figure out is the paint description.


I assumed the door jamb paint was the original Dark Smoke Grey metallic as the body was cheaply painted silver and different from the door jamb. I was way off. Could it be the 96U color?

The real Real Dark Grey Metallic color below.It is a 35 year old truck so obviously could have been painted multiple times, but what I cant find is evidence of it being that Dark Grey color, is it possible only the lower half was painted dark and the upper part, jambs, etc were painted the 96U color, which is basically a white variant from my understanding. Anyone shed light on this?
