    Does anybody know the code numbers for Jade Tint and Foam Green? I printed the sheet but can't read the numbers. Also is a gallon of paint enough to do an entire jeep, inside and out top and bottom? I don't have a HVLP gun. Thanks Todd

    Thanks Hippo. Do I just need the three digit number or the 5 digit one too?

    Sorry, I don't know what you mean by a 5-digit #. I hope we're talking about the same thing. The 178 refers to a color code for 1960-'62 CJ-5s. As far as I know there were no 5-digit color codes. (reference: pg. 79, "Illustrated Buyer's Guide" by Jim Allen).

    The 5 digit is from a Ditzler color chart I found on the CJ3B site. I didn't know if a paint store can reference the color from the jeep number or if they'll need both. I took them a tailgate but they said if they scanned it they probably would get a base coat clear coat paint instead of the single stage enamel type.
