Hello all

I have a 1971 d200 and am having trouble finding the OG paint!

It is a us navy crew cab. No paint code on any tags. Not obvious from the google searching I have done. Ppl have said it is us navy battleship gray, however that ain’t it. It has a blueish tint to it.

Anyways, does anyone have first hand experience or knows whether this was a government or Mopar paint?

Any help would be appreciated.

Please view iCloud links. 1 is of the truck, the other two are from behind the fuel tank.

It might be useful to get a color match and work from there. I don't know if the instruments are portable enough to get one directly off a door jamb, but one would think that would be the place to look. I suspect the catch is painted, in which case one could take off the three screws, clean it up, and go for that, but I'm just guessing.

inside glove box door would be easy to remove and not faded

Copy.
Thanks guys, I figure I would need to get it analyzed. I guess the paint just isn’t very common…
