Re: 1960 GMC Paint Codes,Chips,Numbers
I found this info. on PaintRef.com. It shows the Olympic Whites that were used by Cadillac, GMC, and Fender Guitar Company. Having restored and played Fender instruments for decades, I knew that they used automotive paints thru the 1960's. So did Gretsch and others. Gretsch even advertised there Cadillac Green Paint as a factory option on there Country Club Guitar model. From what I see here, and given it to be correct, Fender used the Cadillac Olympic White. The numbers are the same. The 1960 GMC Olympic White seems to be a GMC exclusive color. From this color chart, I see it as being a little lighter than the Caddy/Fender OW.
