I used the Krylon Carmel Latte in a can and it turned out pretty damn good, I think.

Mine is a 66, it's close to the stock fawn, some other guys have used the same paint, but a different shade (Champagne Nouveau). This is what the color looks like with my seats and carpet.



I was going to get Champagne Nouveau but my daughter thought the Caramel Latte looked better.

This was after 2 quick coats on the dash.



And a mock up og the gauges and wheel for color.




I don't know what interior color options there were in '62, but I know there are a ton of stock interior color option threads on here that break it down. I wanted something close to stock and to find it in a spray bomb was a bonus.

Where did you buy the paint? It looks a lot like my factory interior color on my 66.I like the Idea of a satin finish, usually way more forgiving in terms of hiding imperfections and spray marks.do you have any pics of what you painted? How many cans did it take? What did u sand it with?

The glove box door was shot first. I think I used 2 cans doing the dash, bought the paint at BiMart, I think. You can get it at Home Depot, I bet.

I plan to do the whole inside once all my fab is done. I just used a synthetic steel wool pad to rough/clean the surface. As you can see from the gauge pic, there were some spots I wasn't happy with and was smoothing. I am waiting to do a full repaint later. I am guessing about 7 cans to do the whole interior @ $6 a can.

What is the difference between that and the champagne? Ol skool Chevy, any pics? Did you prime first or just scuff and shoot?

Man I love this truck. The color, the stance, turned out so damn nice. Pictures don't do this truck justice, either.

[WhippinSaw]

I did mine the hard way.

I painted my gmc with the Krylon nickle paint, not the most fun sanding and painting in the cab but it turned out good!

[theastronaut]

I prepped and sprayed the inside of this '65 with Spies Hecker basecoat, reduced 50%, then added 15% hardener to the reduced mix.








After it was put back together.

Everything was the same, just different cameras and lighting. I did spray the column, steering wheel, and arm rest base with gloss clear.

astronaut,
off topic but what knob did you use for the thrift air? Did you just add some epoxy in the hole or use a set screw type knob? The only setscrew knobs I've found are for the wiper and they have a hole in the middle (for washer).

thanks.

I'm not sure when Chevrolet started using fawn, I know 60-61 was silver. The paint code I used is '03 Nissan Sunlit Sand, code EVO.
