I bought a western star and am fixing it up, and I want to touch up some of the paint, how do I go about finding the color of my truck?

Freightliner (Western Star is one of their brands these days) should be able to match the color via your VIN number - at least they did when I wanted some touch-up paint for the Century I used to run.

I am going to repaint my truck. I have the paint codes from DuPont. Superhauler, where did you get your part scanned? Did a paint code come up? Not sure if the old paint codes would still be applicable, or if fading of the paint would have any effect on the scan.

Was that Dupont's Imron you used? That is what Paccar puts on from the factory. That stuff is hard to get used to spraying if you are used to paint like PPG. It doesn't like to blend well either, they usually suggest for repairs to pick a body line and paint from there to the edge of the panel.
