[QUOTE=fritz;66870]Hey Guys,
Can someone give me a heads up on where to buy vintage color paint? In this case i am looking for Chrystal Green.

Fritz, go online to TCP Global to there restoration section and put in the year of your truck and of course GMC as the make. Chrystal Green will pop up on the PPG color chart and PPG's Delstar Acrylic Enamel will be the paint of choice. Delstar came around 1965 or so and just a few years after your truck was built so Formulas dating back for vehicles made in the 50's and early 60's were not a problem back then. The only difference from your original Alkyd Enamel finish is Delstar has an Acrylic additive in the formulation which makes it more durable and adding the recommended catalyst makes it far more durable and resistant to chemicals that can be spilt on it.
