Anyone see a match of a yellow from the cards to the cab?

I'm going to have to say 132 C, or 130 D..

The different light exposures on the samples are making it hard to tell. :(
 
I would say one of the D's. But I agree with Ghostlguy, you need to tape them down flat on the side and get your hand shadow out of the way. Then take a direct on straight shot with good lighting in order for us to judge which one is the closest.

Wazza.. the magic of the searchy thing. Not sure if the info's still valid. I'm hoping you saw this already joe.:001_scool:

Yes, saw it, thank you. :)

All, I was just seeing what you thought, didn't want to make a production out of this one, so no, no more pics! (pulling a Friz) :eek:

The D's are straight colors. The 132D seems to have a hint of orange undertone (really Lemon Yellow), compared to the faded cab. Looks to be a damn good match. 132C is just a shade lighter. May mix 1/2 part to get the inbetween I desire....
 
Have them mix a small sample and paint a small patch on cab and dry it quickly with hair dryer or heat gun to see what matches well...I'd say the color lies in between 132 C and 132 D...if there is portion of cab that was covered up and doesn't have fade your going to get a better match to true color.
 
I reckon between 132C and D, but I'd also add a touch of 130D because it has that slight green shade to it.
 
Just opened your pic up in Paint, selected a small square's worth of color from 130d and dragged it to the right, over the cab. To the right, where the shadowing seems similar, there are areas where really close to being indistinguishable from the cab. 130 d gets my vote, fwiw.

I find that it's always best to ask my wife for help with color matches, though... she has a way better eye for color than I do. If you have that option, I'd say try yours!
 
Cannot do my friend. I usually just borrow wives for other activities besides paint matching...:D

Not sure you are right on the 130D though...
