Im new to this site, not sure how you guys start a new post, so I'm replying here to find out.
I've been searching for the Silver Colour code for Sky Chief, so far I found PPG 2518. is that right?

Thanks
Randy

Welcome to Old Gas.
As the owner of a body shop and a person who has restored many pumps it is better to either take something to a paint store and have them scan the color or find something close because 90% of the old paint codes are no longer available because the chemicals used in the old colors are no longer available. We usually use a pump plate or decal to come up with a color that matches or works for the pump.
Good luck with your restoration!


Thanks
Mike

Yes I know what your saying, but I don’t have anything to take for a sample, I thought it should be a fairly common colour choice as Texaco is widely restored.
I’ll keep looking, thanks.

Agree with Mike that I would match something, but here is an oldgas post with a PPG silver code in it.
