They didn't have Luzon Red in 1946, but they apparently had Harvard Red, which mine must have been. And then Sky Blue, and then Teal, and then Olive Drab.

That looks about right. If you look at the paint codes I posted, one of them is Maroon. They may have come up with the exact same thing. Did they scan it?

Here's mine. It was as close as I could find to Luzon Red at the local paint shop. They actually called it Maroon, but it's close.

Thanks for the explanation Micah. I am going to replace a damaged section of the body and hope to get a sample from it. I will also check the tool box lid paint condition.

When I said paint shop, I should have said supplier. They seemed to have the most up to date equipment and put a sample into a spray can. Their scanner was hand held.
The underside of the toolbox lid is often a good place for a sample.
The tailgate darkened up considerably compared the the prior photo I pasted of it freshly painted in the sun. Micah |

How mobile is the paint shop scanning equipment. The reason I ask is because the paint shop I contacted wants me to bring in a sample piece, min. 6”x6”. Now I see where Steelyard Blues paint shop scanned the bottom of his Jeep to obtain a color sample.

Steelyard blues, Veronica does look a little too Red in pictures taken with my phone, especially when the background is bright. She looks better up close...
