paint codes for 2002 carriage carri-lite 736KI3

I have searched every where for this, but no luck. Carriage is of course, out of business. The carriage owners clubs I have tried either no longer exist, or don't have the information. I CAN NOT take it to a paint shop to have the paint matched, and for what ever reason, when I brought them a door with the subject color on it, they said they needed a bigger sample. (it was just a small strip, and that's the best it gets)

Anyway, thought I would throw a "hail-mary" and see if anyone on here has a suggestion.

As the subject line states, this is a 2002 Carriage Carri-Lite 736KI3 with a bluish grey, or a greyish blue band around the lower 12 inches or so of the exterior. Back a few years ago, when I ordered a set of fender skirts for the thing, the lady at carriage said it was a Ford blue color. I questioned her because it sure looks grey to me, but Peggy agrees with her, so who am I to argue with two women.

So, if anyone does have a suggestion, please post it. I would be more than happy to hear from you.

  • Here is another forum for Carriage http://www.carriage-lifestyle-owners.com

    We have a Cameo with full body paint and we had a auto body shop mix us some paint, they did a great job, but I did pull it over to the shop so they could match the paint.
  • My Cameo is full body paint, and I've needed paint two different times. The first shop had machine that can mix the paint by some method. the 2/nd shop just mixed until they had it perfect. Cannot tell it was spot paint. A good shop can get the job done.
  • Finally had time to go to machine shed to look at our Carri-Lite paint code. Found the label above the sink in the cabinet. States
    TOPEKA GRAPHICS BASF-DIAMONDT. Color code 2001 Ford SP, clearcoated. Our Carri-lite has the bluish gray paint on the bottom.
