Mine's not Crimson Red it's Med. Red on the tag but the 514 Paint Code is what the truck is for sure, I just had some touch up paint made at the paint shop.

Of course ochre is on the poll and this topic is covered in above posts: RPO 511 aka Spanish Gold in GM literature to the public. See above discussion.

Who knows on this one. No SPID, and we haven't found any paint around the edges to tell us.

My Blazer was originally "Firebolt orange" which I call Hugger orange. I'm not a fan of any shade of orange. The Blazer was missing enough of it's original equiptment that I felt comfortable in doing a color change during build.
