Guest Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 My 52 that I just purchased was painted so many different colors that I don't quite know how to find a good example of what it should look like. Any body know any links?<BR> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest COMPACTBC Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 I have a paint code book. What is Buick paint code #'s on your data plate on the fire wall of your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 I believe the paint code is "17".<BR>Thanks for checking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest COMPACTBC Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Code 5217 = a two tone paint job. The UPPER is PPG code #10674 which is Imperial Blue Poly. The LOWER is PPG code #30774 which is Barton Gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I thought it was a '52, because it has the chrome fins, but the tag on the firewall says <BR>Year: 51<BR>Model: 51-52<P>Would 52 be the right year? I was just confused by the fins.<BR>I think the paint might be 5117...<P>Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest COMPACTBC Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Is your car a Super 4dr.ht.(M#52)? My book does not show a paint code #5117 for a 1951 Buick. You may have a 1952 Buick that was manufactured in late 1951 and that could explain the year "51" on the data plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 It says Model 51-52. Very confusing.<BR>I have been scraping paint and I am finding a lot of this Olive-green/grey paint underneath.<BR>Thanks for your replies,<BR>Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Take a piece of paper and pencil sideways over the whole data plate.this will show things a little better.you will see the paint no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
