Getting geared up to paint my wrecker or atleast parts and pieces of it. Im looking at gillespies 34086 "383" is this close to what it will look like? Has anyone tryed having a local paint store like sherwin williams make up some paint to match this color? if so what kinda paint was it oil based or latex or somthing else?

I got 383 from my local Sherwin Williams store for the woodwork on my M813. I carried them a can of Carc and they matched it. They did not recomend their paint for the metal. They said it would fade fast in the outdoors. Automotive paint is the best but way expensive. I ordered Gillispe to finish mine and so far am happy with it.
