medium green paint code 518

Any pictures of medium green trucks. The gm paint code was 518 in 1970-1972. Pics with and without the white on top of the cab would be great.
Thanks.

More pics... First one is mine back 1989. The others are some that I liked and copied for paint comparisons. Not sure who they belong to, but may be forum members.

Re: medium green paint code 518

however it is a 69..might make a difference..?

Re: medium green paint code 518

Yeah... light green was entirely a different color and would resemble my '69 CST:

Name:  102_0363.jpg
Views: 21594
Size:  61.6 KB

This was my paint code, per the order sheet: Paint - 14533AD White/Light Green

But according to this site, it would be referenced by: 530 - 43523 according to PPG

question about painted front bumpers

My truck will be 518 medium green with white on top of cab. It is a 69 c-10 and the only trim left is on the back of the cab where the white will stop. I'm trying to decide on a white front bumper or green. Would the truck have had a white front bumper from the factory? It was originally light green with white cab top.

Yes I know this is an old thread, but hoping some others will post their vehicles with this paint code.

Still think this is a great color. 503 Light is also really nice.
