Re: Trouble matching a paint color

The truck was wearing the original paint there’s no question about that but if you compare the ashtray to the colors we’ve tried it’s just not quite right. The first two pics are of paint code WA8265, the last pic is painted with WA5236, which is showing up as the correct color according to the books. Has anybody ran into this before? I think, and my buddy thinks, that the 8265 looks closer to the original but neither is correct. If anybody has had issues finding the right one I’d appreciate some feedback. We’ve tried mixing it up according to the book and the laser st the paint shop. Thanks!
What model year truck?
