1969 Interior “Saddle” Spray Paint - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Luke87gt · 10-12-2024, 06:06 PM

Hi guys, I ordered a pair of dash vents for my 1969 c10 which arrived in black color.

I’d like to spray them saddle to match the rest of the dash before I install those vents.

Can anyone recommend a quality GM saddle spray paint for a 1969?

Thank you

I'll second that. I also need to paint a defroster vent saddle on my 69. A good matching paint would be awesome.

Just a suggestion- see if the 1969 Corvette Saddle tan is close or a match to the truck color. Corvette parts suppliers should be able to sell you an interior paint/dye to match.

I have used the Colorbond LVP paint that LMC sells with great success. Albeit I was using the blue, but according to the label it is their own proprietary color and it matched excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to try any of the other colors they offer. They get crapped on a lot for some reason, but they seemed to have gotten this one right imo.

SOME of LMC's product line are the worst available. Primarily their rubber products. Some of their parts are the same that everybody else sell. A couple of notable points regarding them are:

Kickass catalog, and easy ordering

Always fast shipping, and rarely backordered

Reasonable pricing on most of their stuff

USED to offer free shipping on large orders. I took advantage of this a few years ago, and saved hundreds in freight on large parts.

NOS are the factory made replacement parts sold in the years after the model year(s) in question.

They have original GM part numbers and packaging.

Eventually, manufacturers stop producing replacement parts for their vehicles, and that's what has happened with our trucks.

It's all re-pop parts now, except for the dwindling supply of NOS that's still out there in garages, sheds, storage, etc...

I have used the OER Dark Saddle on seatbelts that I have restored for people. They have all said it was a perfect match.
