60-61 Interior Paint
Has anyone found a good match for the 60-61 Chevy/GMC Charcoal paint used on the dash ? The old lacquer paint codes don't cross over well to modern paint.

Re: 60-61 Interior Paint
First I want back with fawn color because I could't find anything in that gray that matched. But I should have tried to get something close to that gray. I have only seen one other truck that has it. Now I have white dash and exterior color on everything else.
Here is the only pick I have with the gray. ![]() This is what I have now. I wanted something different but still kept the vintage vibe. ![]()

Re: 60-61 Interior Paint
Thanks. 60-61's were all silver and charcoal interiors, trying to stay as original as possible. The silver is easy, the charcoal not so much. The fawn interiors that came along in 62 are a lot easier to match.

Re: 60-61 Interior Paint
I drove my suburban for 100,000 miles, and there were times the fawn dash reflected badly off the windshield.
My K10 is a '62, but I'm gonna go with the silver interior and black dash from '60/61.

Re: 60-61 Interior Paint
Thanks Rocknrod! The satin white looks good but a pain to keep. I'm always cleaning it.

Re: 60-61 Interior Paint
Thanks. With your custom interior a stock dash wouldn't look right. Yours blends in just right.

Re: 60-61 Interior Paint
Thanks! I had it stock fawn for a while but I decided to change it. My friend kept beating me with his 56 F100 so I had to change it a little.

Re: 60-61 Interior Paint
Hello,
I'm about to repaint the interior on my 1960 Fleetside and would like som feedback on this: I'm thinking about going for thease two colors: Interior: Silver metallic (RAL 9006) Dashboard: Graphite grey (RAL 9024) I haven't decides about the glossiness yet, but I'm thinking about gloss 20 (it's rather flat) I found an untoched spot of silver metallic behind the ID-plate on the left kickpanel. It looks pretty flat to me. Please comment on this if you have any experience. Another question: The front of the glovebox and the gaugehousing and the area underneath is painted silver. Is this the same silver color as on the rest of the cab interior? Thank you in advance ![]() |

Re: 60-61 Interior Paint
Thank you jrusher
![]() Would be nice if you can find the number for the charcoal. Some have grey steering wheel and column and others have silver. I don't know if both where original alternatives, but i'm gonna paint my steering wheel and column silver met. This is the old "original" paintnumbers for the interior 60-61 (maby others years aswell?) If anybody has sucessfully translated thease to modern numbers (recepies) i would be more than happy if you could share them. How about glossiness? Interior - silver gray DUCO MM313 DuPont 94162 Diamont WA7134 Dash top - charcoal gray DUCO 73605 DuPont DS 174 |

Re: 60-61 Interior Paint
No problem . I’ll get that nason code for the charcoal tomorrow I’m just on nites. I think it’s a close match . My steering column was charcoal/grey as well . The silver like I said earlier color wise i think is close but had too much shine I should of dulled it down. It’s a patina truck on the outside so good enough .

Re: 60-61 Interior Paint
Charcoal steering wheel and column is 1960 only. 1961 is when they switched to silver on the column and wheel.
