Paint Match for Stars
« on: August 11, 2011, 03:56:32 pm »

I hope this helps Someone who needs to paint their Star Re loader
As I was throwing out some old cans of paint I discovered a pint size can of touch up paint given to me by the bodyshop when I had my "dark blue 88 GMC Jimmy" repaired after a fender bender. I noticed that a small amount of paint on the outside of the can was a very close match to my Star re loaders, decided to touch up a few scrapes on one of My Stars and after drying the paint was as near a perfect match as you could have. 

Good Shooting

Hi Doc
Don't know the the name of the color, But it is the same as on the dark Blue 1988 GMC K-5 Jimmy.
I suppose a automotive paint dealer could supply the correct color if you gave them the above info.
I'll try to find more on this and be more specific on next post.

Here are the  Paint Numbers for some General Motors paint that comes about as close to matching the Star re loaders as You can get.

General Motors Paint, Dark blue, WA7349
 
You should be able to purchase this paint from any automotive paint supplier from touch up pens to gallon size or larger.
