Not going for uber original, just think that fawn/black will look the best with the patina of the truck.

Re: Gold interior paint code
I have a 66 and want to match my original dash paint and interior color also. I went to PPG and they said they only have the codes for those colors for lacquer, which they don't sell any more. They told me that couldn't match in a single stage or color/clear system. They ended us using there color match system to get as close as possible to the interior fawn color, but it was really not a good match. I am still looking to match the dash color. My dash is a very dark brownish color.

Re: Gold interior paint code
'03 Nissan "Sunlit Sand" code EVO is a good match for the interior color. I shot this using Spies Hecker basecoat. Mix ratio was 2 parts paint, 1 part reducer, then 15% hardener added to the total amount. The hardener adds some sheen and durability. No clear over it, just the basecoat mix.
I haven't had a chance to have the darker dash color scanned to find a code that matches. I did find a way to replicate the original textured finish. A guy on another forum was doing some "frosting" on his parts and the finish looked the same as '66 dark fawn dashes. Quote:

Seems a paint supplier should be able to translate that color code to another product line, no? |

If you go to a house paint supplier, they can match any sample, as long as it isn't metalic (I think). I recently sprayed a old 1960 powermatic bandsaw with alkyd enamel paint matched this way at Benjamin Moore. I wonder how this paint would hold up on a dash. I don't suppose you could add hardener to it. It take for ever to dry and stink forever. |
