Re: Need to know what color this is
I can't think of a Camaro blue that wasn't metallic. Could be wrong. ...either way, there's no for us to tell from the picture. Best bet would be to look through color swatches from a paint shop and choose that way. Or hit up and S10 forum.

Re: Need to know what color this is
the truck is late 80s I'll have to ask the owner to know exactly. I do know that is original paint, I work in a paint shop and have been through every swatch we have for gm no luck, I'll check with my paint supplier

Re: Need to know what color this is
Not sure if a Camaro came in these colors unless it was a base or Berlinetta. I think the light blue RS was metallic.
Im not sure on base models pre 1985.

Re: Need to know what color this is
It’s hard to tell from the pic because everything looks like it has a blue tint to it.. looks like the sun is going down..
light blue paint with blue afternoon shadow is deceiving..
I think Silverados and Sierras also had a non metallic light blue

Re: Need to know what color this is
I had time today and mixed a little of the 9662 pastel blue and it is definitely too light, I'll get a few more pics of the truck but I won't be daylight when I'm home till the weekend. And it's hard to get a pic without snow here right now, here's a pic of the paint I mixed today

Re: Need to know what color this is
If you can find out the year of the truck, you can then look up the available colors for that year.

Re: Need to know what color this is
It’s tough because he said not metallic..
there was only only a couple blues from 80s-90s S-10 that weren’t metallic..

Re: Need to know what color this is
The only non-metallic color blue I remember from back then was the dark blue. All the lighter blues, except maybe some special order colors, were metallic. I worked in GM body shops from 88-98, and 2000 until last year...
The metallic flakes used in those light blues was a fine or medium flake and once oxidized, they can look like a non-metallic color.

Re: Need to know what color this is
I was going to say.. that looks like a metallic color and those ones I found were the only non metallic.. Should be easy to figure out now..
Looks similar to an RS color.. IROCs didn’t come in a light blue like that..
