I like the color on Coutney Hallowell's S-10 titled "Tito's Comeback", but I looked on the tech sheet and saw that the colors used were vanilla white and tank green by PPG. Does anyone know if this is a color they offer or is it something that was made up in the shop?!! Please help, I'm trying to shoot my truck this weekend!!

Go to your local PPG jobber and ask them if there is a tank green.....If not look through the color chip book and bring the mag with Tito's S 10 in it with you.....they should be able to hook you up with that color pretty easy

i betting it was a custom color. i have worked with ppg paint codes and ppg color match computers they list the factory mixes and the custom mixes if they are on file like i am saying only if they are on file. you need the paint codes for making the same stuff. some times they have optic eye that can read paint color and give you a paint code for the paint. but only top dealers have them. you need it because one color maybe more yellow red  blue or green then the original and can look to sun faded etc... for the look your after what i would do is mix a small quart or 1/4 pint or some thing since they do it all on scales. buy it and compare it all depends on the layers and the amount of clear they used and spray it on a panel and color match it on a extra panel of metal. so not to spray it right on the car if you do it your self.
