Re: Are the GMC paint codes the same as those of Chevy in 1982?

Yes - the paint recipes are in the public domain.

Per this chart it looks like Code 60 = WA5236

The original paint was High Solid enamel but they can mix up the same color in any chemistry you want.

When I redid my '87 (Code 72 Apple Red) I asked the shop to mix up WA7475 in base coat/clear coat, hoping for a little more depth and better durability.

It turned out perfect.
