Is this a factory color ??

I know, I know... its a picture of a Jeepster Commando in the CJ5/6 section.

My question is not about the Jeepster Commando, but the factory paint that covers it.

What color is it ?

Here is the chart: 1967 Jeep colors (fixed link for chart)

See what you think it is.

Heck, it might not even be a factory color.

My CJ6 came from the factory Presidential Red... definately not staying that color.

can't see Jeepster

 

There are no Jeep chips on that chart - it says they carry over from 1966. The two colors you list are International colors.

The only one close is "Empire Blue Poly."

My impression is that it's not a factory color. Not sure why I think that - it's just my guess from being around Jeeps a lot, many years ago.

 

Sorry 'bout that!

I fixed the link and then the picture link crapped out.

I fixed it too with a link to my Skydrive. Let me know
if the pic doesnt work.

Looks like the only factory blue that matches the Jeepster is
Empire Poly Blue.

Would you all agree ?

Thats what I was thinking as well! Just wanted to let
our cabal of astute Jeep experts weigh in. They would know
better than me.

Plus Im color blind

Maybe Island Blue Metalic from this chart?

yes that looks like Empire Blue Poly which is a OEM color as the chart shows.IIRC that was not a uncommon color. had a good friend with a 66-67 that color.

The article that I took the picture from said the paint was color matched to a
sample of the factory paint found in the glove box area.

If my beat up snow plow Jeepster had a new factory paint job it would be the same color as that.

 

I have a 66 tub with that color, I can see if the paint code tag is there.
