Re: Best Paint Match for 1972 Saddle Interior
 

Go back to posts 12, 13 and 15. I show a couple of things I used the corvette dark saddle base with a clear on top.
Over the last year/ish, I've compared "my" color to several original saddle parts that have never seen the sun and the match is near perfect...

Looking back through some of my posts, they are confusing, so I just want to clear up my findings. I’m restoring a 69 c10 with saddle interior, and a 72 with saddle interior. I found the information provided by WannaB68 to be spot on for the 69 saddle color. For the 69 interior color, Corvette America Saddle 4319-56 with a clear top cote is a near perfect match.

I found the 72 was a little darker with a little more red hue. I found Corvette America Dark Saddle 4321-53 with a clear top vote to be a near perfect match for the 72 only Saddle color. I’ll try to post pics in a couple of weeks when I return home.

Right - to be specific, I was restoring my 69 suburban saddle interior :-)

Unbelievable! After spending $15-20 per can for OER or SEM products. I see a Facebook post for Rustoleum “Chestnut”. The post was by a very accomplished builder out of Souther California named Fidel Limon. I am ETREMLY satisfied with the color. I used a spray adhesion promoter then a medium coat of the color followed by a light coat of matt clear.
