Need 68 Door Panel skins/visors saddle color - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Trying to find some door panel skins and visors that are saddle color and in great shape. Figured I would try here before I forked out the cash on new ones.

I think the correct color for 68 is "fawn". It is a little different than the saddle interior color that started in 69.

Here is the 69 saddle color.

Here is the fawn interior that came in my 68 Burb.

Yep, fawn is the right color (most probably, anyway). It's what I've got on my '68 CST. The color sample doesn't do it justice.

68 suburban, I think the 69 color chart that you showed me resembles more of what im trying to match it to. I recently bought a new saddle dash pad, so I think the 69 saddle color will match up better. Thanks for the chart.

I like the fawn color though, thats pretty sharp.

My 68 has fawn visors, dash pad, and the door covers (metal) were fawn. I notice that 68 suburban's fawn smiles ...

I don't think they remanufacture the fawn color.

Actually, the fawn in person, is a real nice color.

I bought a spray can of '68 Silver Fawn Irridescent Lacquer from the Paddock a few years ago. It was made by Rainbow Industries and cost about $12 then. Just used it last week on my Instrument Panel surround trim and gauge recesses -- came out great. It matches the original color once you clean that up. I plan on painting it on my OEM steering wheel once I'm finished sanding down the compound angles on the spokes. PC-7 is tough stuff.
