Anyone find a spray paint color that's close to the original brown to paint the climatizer box in a 2R truck? I spent $15 for a can of original green engine paint and am not sorry I did, but not as worried about this appearance.

In case no one else chimes in... here is what I have done to find some of these colors.
Find a color photo of one that is correct (on line, or out of your camera), print it out & go to a hardware store that has a wall full of spray cans & find the color that comes closest. It may not be perfect... but you will be the only one to know.

Well I sorta did that today before I asked. I took a piece of the heater box and took it into a hardware store and tried to match the colors, but didn't come close enough to want to spend $6, that's how far off they were. I will try a big box hardware store tomorrow and see if their color options are better. Wanted to try the local hardware guy first.

I never was able to find anything pre-mixed that was close to that brown color. I ended up taking the cleanest part of the heater box to a Sherwin-Williams store and had them mix a quart of gloss oil-base paint. Somehow (maybe it's my imagination) a store that sells nothing but paint has always done a better job on matching colors than the guy at the big box store.
BTW, on my truck, the seat frame is painted the same color.Skip Lackie
