Ya I took in the ones from Kaiser Willys website which looks to be the same as what you just posted to a Sherwin Williams Auto Finishes store which perfectly matched the code on my '61 Apache 10.  These codes came up with nothing for them.  The only Willys color they had was that deep red one.

I'll try a different store.  Lots here in Charlotte.

I literally enlarged the images on the CJ3B Page of the paint codes and took that with me to the paint shop.  Only one paint store had issues. I'm really not sure why they had problems but I did what anyone does with anything else:  Go to another store.

When I handed them the sheet and pointed at my color, I asked them if they could make it.  Two shops, one in Kansas and one here in Alabama simply said, "Of course."  Both were very accurate.  I will also say I went with the 2-stage tone and clear coat.

Get a good image of the code and shop around.  Also, see Dom's comment on the link above.  Get as close as you want and if you like it, take it and run!

So I did a search and nothing came up but I am trying to match the paint codes for the CJ3B grays to see which one I like.  The Potomac gray is way too light for me.  I did a search online and got some original paint codes but nobody uses them any more.  There are PPG and Dupont codes but they aren't coming up either at the auto paint store.  Has anyone had any luck?

I am specifically looking at the darker gray shades:

Surf Gray
Cadet Gray
Shadow Gray
Chesapeake Gray
