1966 Corvette, Center Console, Black Touch-Up Paint

[Edmund C.]

Brothers: Can anyone tell me where I can get some black touch-up paint to match and touch-up some small specks on my center console? Many thanks. Best regards, EWC

Edmond,

I think the general consensus is that Krylon semi flat black #1613 , is a pretty close match to the original black color on the console .

That being said however , I don't know how well it will blend in on a touch-up situation ?

If the console (I have a '63 so I don't know) is the same "camera case" black used on the instrument cluster then I've used this successfully.

Just dab a bit on the bare spot ... let it dry for a few seconds and just tap it with a fingertip to dull it just a tad. Sounds sorta silly but it works on the cluster... I did a large repair and brought the one-year-only '63 cluster back to life...

Edmund,

Many (including myself) have used SEM 39143 with success. You might want to give it a try.

Good luck

For spots I often use a tooth pick dabbed in the paint and/or q-tip for spots. Have used Krylon and long time ago Uticolor.
