Unless I'm not seeing it, maybe post a swatch of the two colors side-by-side. Hopefully, they're nearly identical. I've learned to try to match the previous car color for a paint job. Things like interior trim, door posts, trunks, engine bays, wheel wells, etc will stand out with an off-tint exterior color, screaming 'this vehicle has been repainted on the cheap'. That is, unless you don't plan on prepping/squirting all those areas. /R

The question is either (1) keep stock color or (2) new color paint.

If new color, it would be same as the one picture with Isuzu's new paint called Sahara Beige Metallic used on Asian market NPS and NPRs.

The other picture is the stock color on my truck from 1993. It is more of a champagne color and I would use the stock paint code from PPG or wherever.

I'm not worried about my paint looking cheap, because it won't look cheap. I'd pull bed to access all the hard to get areas and also doors to get door jams, etc

First post in a while... finally painted a panel on the truck. Sticking with the stock color. Will paint 1 panel at a time till it's all done. Might take a few years.
