I know, its the only pic online I can find of any DPS cars around this year, do you have idea of what I could use that might come close to it?
Thanks for the info

If you can figure out which of the four colors it is, you can probably get it from this place: www.paintscratch.com/FMW P.S. I only found this web site recently. I haven't tried them. |

Jonathan,
I think it may actually be silver, looking a little blue-grayish because of the lighting and age of the film emulsions.
Regardless, it will be a period Chrysler color as Jan said. Rather than mail-ordering ... you might wait until Saturday to see Scalefinishes' complete line of automotive paints that Jameston Kroon will have on the table at Desert Scale Classic. If he can't hand you the color you need, he'll be able to whip it up and ship it to you as soon as he gets back to Salt Lake City.
And, his prices are usually much better than reasonable ... especially toward the end of the show.

 Hey Jonathan, I cleaned this up in Photoshop just auto-adjusting the color...It seemed to take alot of the faded look to the picture out and give a clearer look at the color. When I select the color right from the photo and compair it to the color chart that FMW gave It is really close to the "SILVER CLOUD" or if I pick the sample from the front fender above the marker light I get a match for the "SILVER FROST" (which in the photo is just a tic darker than the door or the fender from the wheel back) color So I would maybe go with one of those 2 that if I was doing it ...I think I would lean towards the "Silver Cloud" myself...Hope that helps |

That does help a lot, thank you for the figuring it out, Dan, I was kind of thinking Silver too, but it had the hint of blue, so thats why I am asking lol.
I looked on Scale Finishes site, and he doesnt have anything for mopar from 77, so I will talk to him on Saturday, I need to see him anyways to get some other paint that he sells

On the color chart it lists that same color and paint number all the way back to 72....maybe its listed under a nother year at Scale Finishes?

Dave's right! Not only that, but Jameston can brew up anything ... you just gotta ask.
Wait til you see the vintage Volkswagen colors I'm going to ordering!
