Hi all,
Does anyone have any idea what the paint color or code for my coach might be? First--I have no sticker in my glove box or compartment, so I've checked. I've also checked on the internet and elsewhere with the codes. I ordered two possible colors that I thought MIGHT come close that were listed as possible matches: Caramel Beige and Buckskin. The former was way too light and beige, and the latter is close but not brown or dark enough. It's a 1977 Eleganza II, but I'm beginning to wonder if they painted it a non-standard color.
My next choice may be to go to an auto body shop with a paint chip, but since I have seen pictures of coaches of a similar color, I thought maybe some one could point me in the right direction.

That looks like a metalic repaint so throw the stock codes away.

I don't believe your paint is factory. Please, what is the VIN?
Also, check your Facebook Private Messages, PMs.

Brian,
Find an automotive paint store in your area and ask if they have a paint color analyzer; if they do drive the GMC there.
They should be able to tell you what the color is and determine the mix. They may also be able analyzer the stripes.

Thanks everyone, as usual, for the advice and help via the forum (and email). So it looks like my next stop will be looking for auto body paint suppliers in the rainy northwest! I have a few 1" chips that have flaked off so maybe I can start there.
Bill I did check. Thanks. VIN is: TZE167V100261

If you have chips that have flaked off then it definitely isn’t the original. The original pant was Imron, a polyurethane paint that won’t flake.

A long way from original paint...
Do what Rob said. If they have paint analyzers in Antigonish, NS, you can
be sure they have one where you live. Get the smallest amount available and
take it home to test on an inconspicuous location for a colour match.
