1983 paint codes...

[rwjjr]

My truck don't have the paint code on the glove box or door jam...I'm needing to get some of the "cooper" color to touch up some spots. Does anybody know the name/code of the 1983 Copper color/ tan 2 tone? Pic is attached

I've heard the coppery brown refered to as "russet" before. Not sure if that was the official name for it or not though.

It's hard for me to tell, but this might help you.

I'm going to say code 68 Mahogany (Metallic) and code 59 Almond.

When you say "don't have the paint code on the glove box", do you mean you don't have the SPID label? Or you don't know how to read the SPID label?

These codes should appear as "68U" (where U = upper, or primary) and "59L" (where L= lower, or secondary inset color); the paint scheme is RPO ZY5.

Thank you, there is no SPID label , and the door jamb sticker is to faded to read! The Mahogany looks like a winner!

There is another way, depending on how desperate/interested you are:

For $50 you can send your VIN to the GM Heritage Center and they will return to you the actual vehicle invoice, including all option content and pricing.
