Tim-
Take a sample of about 4 square inches that is painted with the color you want to match to your closest NAPA Auto Parts store that sells auto paint, not all of them do. They have a paint color scanner that can exactly match the color. Try to take a sample that has not faded. They can mix the color into whatever type of paint you want, at least of the types they sell.

And then PLEASE post the type of paint and it's paint code mix and your aircraft serial number and the Cessna paint code and name here.

And anyone else who's done this post the info. We've had plenty of people paint their airplanes matching original colors. There is no reason we can't collect this info.

And anyone who has a C-170 that hasn't shrunk like mine apparently has....take a lot of pics. Look at how large these airplanes once were! (I think this guy was featured as the president of the "Lollipop-Guild" in Munchkin-land/Wizard of Oz.)

Well what will we find out next. Not only does the original nut have more modifications on his plane than most, we now find out it has shrunk as well.
