Saddle Tan seat belt buckle paint ?

[David D.]

I have a '64 Saddle Tan Vette and after restoring everything else, I now notice that the seat belt buckles stand out of place with a few chips/scratches....

I want to repaint/refurbish, but don't believe it's the same paint that is used on other interior parts, such as center console. It appears to be a darker color on belt buckles.

So the question is, what paint would/should be used to get this job done? And, is it something like a Krylon I can buy at a local Wallyworld?

TIA,
David

David, if the paint is original on the buckles, have a good auto paint store color match it and put it in spray cans for you, life time supply.

Thanks Dan...great idea.

I guess I am just a little concerned about some 'fading/deterioration' after all these years....

David:

The color on the underside of the buckle lever is going to be pretty doggone close to the original look. Does it match the exterior? If not, suggest you go ahead and take the buckle apart so your paint guy can get a good read on the underside.
