New To me 72 Buckets and Console - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found some 72 buckets and console local. They are going to be bright blue with some cushion work as well. I want to restore the console and do a color change to blue.
Would it be bright blue or med. blue?
What is best to use for the color change?
Who is best for parts and finaly is there a good thread on a console resto?

I can't answer any of your questions, but I sure am jealous!!

Lucky Dog! Nice stuff there... Blue sounds good. SEM has a decent system for restoring the console color and lots of choices. We used it on some parts for one of my fathers projects and it worked great.

Medium blue is correct for the console. Use lacquer paint.

Here is a very nice set for sale on the parts board right now. The console looks fantastic: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=496871
