    I was wondering if anyone could tell me the paint code from the Golden eagle line. I got a close paint job but need to start from the original and then match this one...

    Do you have pics?
    I have a 78 golden eagle cj-7 in the mocha brown. They also came in white but I don't know the code.

    I had mine repainted and a new decal applied by the dealer back in 1990. At the time they couldnt get the exact brown in the Diamont paint they were using so I had to settle with "close". Close wasn't quite right and I was never really happy with it since the original color had more gold in it. I'm at the point where I need to restore the jeep again so I'm interested in that paint code. I have a tracing of the original eagle which I plan on making a computer cut mask of so I paint it on in the bast coat.

    Post some pics of your Jeep!

    Is yours a three speed, four speed (T-18) or a automatic?

    They also came in Black, but seem to be very rare. I have a black 78 Golden Eagle that im just about done the restoration on.. All thats left is to order replacement fenders and then take it down to the paint shop
