Hi Charles

This might help as well:

https://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?type=paint&paint=45152&ditzler=40042&smodel=Chevy%20Truck&syear=1946&smanuf=GM&sname=Brewster%20Green

I had 1946 highlighted, but as you can see, the same Ditzler code applies to earlier years as well.

Hope that helps.  🙂

@ole-olson Awesome thank you Ole

Each year the color combo number changed on Fisher passenger cars and Martin-Parry commercial. The Duco number did not. For details see paint chips 1935 - 42 at web page: home.znet.com/c1937/paint.htm . Swifts red Delux #255, Export Blue Delux #314, and Brewster green Delux #267 were the only enamels used on Fisher cars. The rest of the Fisher colors were Lacquer. All Martin-Parry trucks were painted enamel. Holdens had different colors.

Brewster Green was discontinued after 1941 and Forester green replaced it. My fathers fleet was painted Forester green. The Dodges were resprayed at the dealer as this was not a Dodge color.

"Brewster Green was discontinued after 1941 and Forester green replaced it."

With due respect...

Not here it didn't.

Brewster Green was the standard color on Chevrolet trucks to the end of the 1946 model year (several months into the 1947 calendar year).

Forester green became the standard color with the introduction the Advance Design trucks that came out as 1947 model year trucks several months into the calendar year.

A few years later, (1953 to be exact), still with Advance Design trucks, Forester Green was replaced with Juniper Green as the standard.

I may be wrong, but I don't think Brewster Green was ever a color used on Chevrolet car bodies.

Only trucks.

It is possible I am incorrect to the date. I still have the 1944 Dodge that was originally Navy Blue and repainted Forester green at the Dodge dealer. My Father had a priority to purchase 2 trucks a year for essential industry during WW II. His 1942 Chevy had original (factory) paint when it was sold in 2010. The 1943 Dodge was a dealer repaint. A friend of mine rolled the 1944 Chevy which was a cab & chassis with a 1936 Stainless steel IH (Corn binder) bed. I still have the bed but it is not very accessible. The 1949 3/4 ton was same color which could have been an advanced design color.
I believe the enamel (Delux) colors were used mostly on fleet vehicles.
I know Canada had some differences but I don't know if it included colors.

Just for clarification for anyone reviewing this thread in the future, the Dupont old line enamel was called Dulux. I shot a fair amount of it when I was first getting into the body & fender business many years ago. At that time the world was just making the transition to Acrylic Enamel and Dulux was being phased out. At that time Dupont was the dominant paint manufacturer in the US so Dulux was almost synonymous with automotive enamel. Kind of like Crescent has become synonymous for any brand adjustable open end wrench.

Thank you for all the info.

The main auto paint brands in South Africa are Spies & Hecker, Glasurit and PPG.

I’ve made contact with all of the suppliers and non of the codes future in the database. The only brewster green I can get is Rolls Royce, Bentley, Porsche and BMW, the latter not available in 2k.

Unfortunately most companies in the US and Europe don’t ship paint.

The search continue…

Hi Charles

I believe the Chevrolet colors had different names in Canada.

And I believe Brewster Green may have been called Commercial Green here.

Some Sherwin Williams information I forgot I had appears to show that, and gives more information that may help you.

@charles-heyneke 

The information I posted above is at least entertaining if not useful.  🙂

Most people would be surprised at seeing Chrome Orange and Lemon in the mix.

They were used to "warm" the green.

And it makes sense when you look very closely at a sample of the original paint.

Very interesting indeed, thank you Ole !

Will keep you posted.

Jim Carter truck parts offers a Brewster green but I am gathering that Charles is not in the US?

IDK if this throws another wrench in this, but in a quest to find a color that I liked to paint my 28 truck I fumbled across this,

1925 Buick Brewster Green Paint Code - Buick - Pre War - Antique Automobile Club of America - Discussion Forums

 It's a Brewster green from a 25 Buick and the Nason formula is in the thread.

It mentions working off a Glasurit formula (which I think is also in the thread) from a gentleman in Sweden.

I think this is a darker green than what was used in the 40's and that's what I was after.  We will find out I guess as I had a pint mixed up using the Nason formula.  I did a fair amount of research and learned that what was considered Brewster green (and I don't believe it is the same shade of green as the 25 Buick example, or the green on the truck at the beginning of the tread)  was/is used on Porche, Trans-ams, and 67 Mustangs just to name a few and I think it gets mistaken for British racing green
