I know this has probably been discussed before....but a search didn't turn up much.

Anyone seen a jeep painted Gold Beige?  My 51 was originally Bristol Red, as near as I can tell. But it's been repainted a couple of times. The exterior is an unknown silver, but the interior/dash is sort of a gold or bronze like silver. Kind of a sliver with a gold tint. does that ring any bells?? I tried to get a picture of the two colors side by side but the picture just looks like one uniform color....

I'm thinking that it is an original jeep color because I just bought two used CJ2a/3a hood latches on ebay and they are the same silver/gold color, almost a perfect match.. too much of a coincidence..

Thanks,

I would not call it gold, it just sort of has a tint, it's not a bright silver or pure silver or a grey...I'll take a part into a paint shop and see what happens...it won't have a name though...

I don't know if you can see the difference. The paper is white, the broken piece of bondo is silver, and the latch is the gold tinted color....

They were black, then a layer of the original Bristol Red, same as under the tool box lid and under the dash, and then this color whatever it is, and then the silver.. This thing was repainted every time they added a layer of sheet metal...

I don't plan a complete repaint, I would just like to do the exterior and all the new steel, leaving the dash and all the crevices and corners as they are.... but a trip to the media blaster is still a possibility....

Here is what was under the data plate....
