    Interior paint colors

    I hate to restart a topic that has been addresses many times but.... having searched the archives I can't find the answers to a few interior paint color questions I have.

    Questions pertain to 1964 convertible with dark blue vinyl interior (exterior is Daytona Blue). There are a number of paint source options available but I am uncertain as to which would satisfy judging (with respect to color and sheen). I would appreciate a response, (recommendation for product name and number) from anyone that has successfully Top Flighted a '64 with a dark blue interior.

    Specifically, I need to repaint: 1) the speaker grill and center shifter console; 2) the back side (interior) of the glove box door and glove box door frame; 3) the black portions of the instrument cluster and the exterior of the glove box door;

    1. Speaker grill and console: Several vendors offer "dye" in dark blue - they claim it can be used on vinyl or metal. I have concerns about the proper sheen. Any recommendations?

    2. Back side of the glove box door and door frame: I see a lot of recommendations for SEM Trim Black # 39143 as having the right sheen - would this be the product to use?

    3. Instrument cluster and front of glove box door: Uncertain as to what sheen is appropriate - and what product / brand of paint satisfies the accepted standard.

    Finally - the cross member that the VIN and data plates are mounted on, mine is partially green (Zinc Chromate Primer) and partially flat black (over-spray from PO's restoration). While I have the glove box out I would like to paint it correctly - what color should it be?

    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

      Michael,
      Thank you - your response is exactly the type info I was hoping for. I will go with LIC's dark blue dye.

      Now, I hope others will chime in re the black paint questions in my original post.

        You're welcome, I have not done any interior blacks, so have no experience there.

          HI:

          I have been using Krylon # 51613 Satin Black (replacement for the old 1613 Semi-Flat Black). 1613 has been a stand-by for just about forever.

          It seems to work really well and I am pleased with the results. Note that I did not re-paint the inside of the glove box door as I wanted to retain the original tire pressure sticker. I could have masked it off but chose not to do so.

          I also used it on the original oil filter canister (masked off the original silk screened instructions).

          See the photos... hope this helps.

          Regards
          Bill

            Thanks Bill
            Satin Black looks great - nice soft sheen and.... judging (no pun intended) from the long list of Top Flights you have it appears to be a very acceptable shade of black. Krylon 51613 looks like a winner.
