66 coupe interior paint

[Gilbert R.]

my 66 coupe is Nassau blue with white interior , that makes the inside trim color blue, my question is , the judging book says the console and radio panel are color coordinated with the dash pad color. and the storage box painted panels are coordinated with the carpet color, is there a vendor who has these paints/ or dye already available in the correct color?

No. What is avaiable is all the same shade whereas original blue (and saddle) interious had some items different shade than other.

The attached is from the Chevrolet Service News (September-October 1965) - titled 1966 Chevrolet Features. This page has the Ditzler codes (now PPG) for the 1966 interior colors.

My 66 Coupe has the Dark Blue interior. I used the Ditzler code at a auto paint store that still has PPG acrylic lacquer paint. Using this Ditzler code they were able to mix the paint for me.

Since the interior of a couple has at least two levels of gloss, I had them mix the paint with no flattener so that we could create different gloss levels.

I'm very please with how everything turned out, but I have not had the car judged.
