(Green : GMC : 1959 - 1990)At
PaintRef.com we have records of this paint for over 31 years of use.
This green automotive paint color is most commonly known as simply 'Green'. Another common paint color promotional name is Reef Green. The color formulation has been used between 1959 and 1990, primarily by GMC; but also by Company Fleet Vehicles, Chevrolet and GM. See the full detailed list below.
The four Companies/Organizations with Fleet Vehicles using this color are: Glass Specialty Systems Inc, Alabama Power Company, Mary McIntosh Services, and Atlas Van Lines.
Some Chrysler paint manufacturing codes come in two forms, the short 1 to 3 digit model/year code which changes frequently and a longer code which does not change. One of these longer codes which we track is the DT or Dodge Truck or Fleet code. This is one of only a very few DT codes that starts with the letters "DT" and does not end in a 4 digit number. We are not sure about the use of this paint, it is probably very early or a basic color. Codes in the DT7000 to DT7999 range are generally green shades. These DT codes do not change over the years for a particular paint formulation; therefore, it is the best code to track the usage of Chrysler paint.
In many cases Chrysler has assigned DT codes to popular paint from other manufacturers to use as special order paints. The DT paint set is one of the few that includes many of the official
US Military paint colors.
In this case, DT7268 appears to be a special order paint for a popular early paint named
Green by GMC.
