Well, the dealership doesn't have a build sheet for cars going that far
back. So no help there. I'll look again for the paint code under the
MC. I've looked before, but now I know better what I am looking for.
Thanks for all the great help guys. Once I find a color, where should
I get my paint, I'd like to be able to pick it up, instead of shipping
it, I'm kind of on a tight schedule. Again thanks for all the help,
yay Google groups.

Just so you know, this is 'not' a 'google group', it is Usenet. Google
just rips off the usenet feed to show an HTML version of it and to show
you advertisements.

Usenet has been around as a separate backbone feed that travels over the
internet. It is not the WWW or world wide web although as you see from
Google, it can be shown on the WWW.

Most here actually use newsgroup servers and post directly via a
'browser' or newsreader screen. I use Netscape 4.79 Communicator's mail
and news screen.

That copper brown metallic paint yours came with likely has a paint code
that body shops can get. I was told by Coleman that the new computer
matching of paint chips will get their 'coleman green' as close as if it
was the real color. (I have a vintage 'patent applied for' Coleman
stove I want to refinish because it just works so well...

This site has a Jeep with a cool factory color, he says it's 'Bronze
Mica-tallic'.

Glad to help, and thanks for letting us know how you made out. My `79 CJ
is in storage for the winter so I can't look but, just out of idle
curiosity, did Jeep still put a VIN/nomenclature/tire pressure sticker on
the dash or body tub near the driver seat by `81? I'm wondering if the
paint code also appears there.
