    Hello folks, I'm about to prep and paint my 60' wagon myself. The truck pictured is one I found with no info but I really love the color. Is there any way to figure out a paint color from just a picture? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

  2. No and that looks like a model not a real vehicle so even less chance. Go to an automotive paint store and ask to look at colour decks and find something you like. Or try finding a vehicle in a car lot with a colour you like and get that.

    If that's a model truck I don't see why you can't get a hold of the model maker and ask them what the color code is

    Just a guess, but it will probably take 4 gallons to paint a 60 foot wagon. But, I doubt that a '60 is even over 20'.

    Look at Chevy fawn beige metallic. Looks close to me, maybe with a creme colored top.
