If you are looking for a blendable match, take the truck to the paint supply store and get them to make some matched paint. The paint code will give you the original color but it won't match 100% for touch ups because your truck has weathered to some degree and not all vehicles are painted the "exact same color" with the "exact same formula". If you were doing a complete, get the paint made up as per code formula but keep some for later repairs and touch ups because the next time you get some made up, it will be a slightly different color.

Color is very fussy! Just think of it as a "rainbow of colors".

I know it's a 523 paint code for dark blue but with the white top gave it a different number on the SPID for blue/white. i'm looking for the correct spid code
