1958 Blue Interior Paint

[Bryan K.]

Hello all,

I have a 1958 Snowcrest white car that came with the blue interior. Unfortunately at some point in the 80s the original owner painted/dyed it black. Im gutting it now and have a dash + carpet on the way from Al Knoch (in horizon blue), but I need to find the correct paint to shoot the gauge cluster, kick panels and center console etc.

Where can I source the correct blue for the interior? single stage?


thanks!

Re: 1958 Blue Interior Paint

Corvette 1955 to 1962 Hand Book has a paint chart for Corvettes. I am listing the following paint code for 1958 interior: Silver Blue, DuPont 2696-l R-M 992-D and Ditzler DAL 11755, I have purchased PPG lacquer in the past using the Ditzler codes. I believe that PPG acquired the Ditzler company, but has discontinued the lacquer line, but the color code still may be valid.

Thank you. I have those codes in my handbook but wasn't sure who is currently making them. Would you suggest I just reach out to PPG and get their closest match?

Check with your regional PPG about paint supplier, if they can’t help you, call PPG customer support. There was also a vendor at Corvette of Carlisle that sold Lacquer and used the paint codes to mix it.

Bryan, et al.

I have used tcpglobal for all of my lacquer needs for both C1 and C2's. Great place to get lacquer. Except they can't sell to California. Not sure where you are.

I used their 1959 interior turquoise several years ago and was a perfect match(ref post HERE). Roman/Riverside Red also.
