Hello, everyone,

has anyone ever heard of Paint Code 020140 Gunmetal Gray for a 1941 Cadillac?  The code showed up on a build sheet for a Series 75 Limousine and Matt Larson, who printed the build sheet, said that he had no idea how that color might differ from Paint Code 54, the ordinary Gunmetal Gray.

I would appreciate any information.  Thanks!

That color number looks like a Rinshed-Mason color number. R-M was the paint supplier to Cadillac for body colors that year. Im going to guess that it was ordered in a special shade of gunmetal gray,  but for why, who will ever know?
