It’s very difficult to get a color through on photo and the site does not allow video. But here you go, hope I’m getting closer to the true color

Hi Charles

Judging by the colors on my screen, the color to the right looks very close.

Lighting can make all the difference though.

Here are 2 shots of my '46 (which I believe is wearing it's original Brewster Green) to compare to.

After making the above post, I compared your right hand color in your post to the full frontal picture of my truck in my post.

My screen makes them look very very similar.

So I would think that likely in person they probably are as well.

Looks like you've done an excellent job of matching the color.  👍

Thank you,

The right plate is most definitely more correct.

Interesting enough, the two colors that you see is the exact same formula (mix) but done with two different paint brands. Just goes to show how even the strength of tint can make the difference.

The plate that seems to be correct was done by DeBeer Valspar. I’ll post the paint formula here should someone be interested.

@ole-olson Hi Ole, your truck looks absolutely awesome, the correct brewster green is beautiful 😍 the color on your truck looks a bit more dark olive on my side though.  I will only be able to test the sample I have in the new year but this is the formula this far if it can help anyone, or perhaps if someone can help so that we can lay this to rest once and for all. Don’t you perhaps live near a paint-shop with these fancy scan guns Ole ? 😄 As I said before this is the tint from DeBeer :

Thanks Charles!

I would gladly look for a paint shop that has the equipment and oblige you.

However, once the snow flies here, and the salt hits the streets, the old '46 is waxed and parked for the duration.  🙂

@charles-heyneke 

I am however going to keep your formula for future reference.

Thanks!
