Doesn't look like a factory color option. Could be anything.

Only thing I know is it's blue. Seems like a decision that should have been hammered out before any body work even began.

Best bet would be to go through all the paint companies websites you can find and choose one that matches the best. Start with Summit's line and branch out from there. GL

Go to one of your local automotive stores that sells paint. They should have the books with chip colors. Look through the samples and pick what you want.
I agree that the truck in the photo is most likely not a factory color.

I looked at the color options for the new GMTK2XX trucks, and the Blue Topaz Metallic looks similar. Might wanna check that out. Everyone's right, though. That color could have been from an Edsel, a Saab, a Hupmobile, or a Toyota.

Well i believe im down to two choices which are the Blue Topaz Metallic and Laser Blue Metallic which are both GM blue and that is my ultimate goal cause i don't want a foreign paint code or other Chyrsler, Ford etc on a GM truck. Any of ya'll care to help decide which is closest to the original pic?? TIA

you'd probably need to see them under fluorescent lighting, as that appears to be what the photo was taken in. Trying to match paint in different types of light, will rarely get you the color you're hoping for.

there is another GM option, 2002 Corvette Electron Blue.

Hard to see the difference. The laser one's a tad darker.
