According to http://www.paintscratch.com/

SH = Medium Willow Metallic Clearcoat

It doesn't look very dark in their sample, though.

i got some touch up paint for my truck, that matched the code inside the door, and it looked right at first, but now you can definetely tell its all bright.

dont know if its because i didnt clear coat/buff it or what but it looks weird.

RC came up as Medium Platinum metallic. obviously thats not right.

Color Code
PACIFIC GREEN PEARL PS

JEWEL GREEN MET PB

DEEP JEWEL GREEN PEARL PA



sometimes access to the BASF website rules lol. Those are the only greens i could find for a 1996 Ford Ranger. see if any are right, and let us know.
