Does anyone have or know of a source of paint matches for our trucks? I have a 1980 J10 with, I believe, Cardinal Red paint. I need to match that to patch in some repairs. Anyone know of a cross-reference?

Thanks guys!

I couldn't get the code off the truck until this weekend. The truck is currently at my friends farm about 60 miles away. He's letting me use one of his sheds to work on it during these winter months. I could've asked him to get it for me but didn't think it was important enough.
