Does this look like the right color? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I took my seat belts to this place today to get an estimate on having them restored www.ssnake-oyl.com. This is the only color they had for my off white bealts. What do you think? It looks less white and more cream in person.

BB72CHEVKT · 07-01-2009, 02:02 PM

No opinions. I thought opinions were like as&*^%@ everyone had one.

Can you get a shot with less flash on the material? To me, from the picture above it appears to be more white than the parchment belts, but that might be due to the flash.

Here is another shot. They had a brighter white available and this is closer I think.

I have to agree, I think this will be about the best option you will find if the other color was brighter. Maybe someone else will chime in and have some information for you.

Have you considered purchasing an original set off the parts board?

If you compare that sample to parchment door panels, belt buckles or head-liner you'll see the similarity in the color. It looks great to me!

Good Luck!!

I can not find my originals they were in good shape but the off white does not stay very clean. I bought the set I took in off the parts board unfortunately even though these are in good shape the webbing was nasty.

I have new door panels and visors but I have not purchased the new seat cover to compare it to. I think it will be good enough for me. Still waiting on the cost to refurbish.

If you go back, can you ask for a swatch of electric blue for me, and also let me know what your quote is on these. I have a set of red shoulder harness belts that I want to convert to blue for my truck, which I want the tags taken off the red ones and put on new blue belts. The sample you got looks pretty close to the original parchment color. Trevor

I will check and see. I will not be using their services. They wanted $270.

Geeee...they have gone up. I got a quote about 6 months ago and they only wanted about $250. To rich for my blood. Looks like an opportunity for a board member..."Seat Belt Refurb Services."

Did you get the quote from the same place? I was expecting $100-200 range. I was kind of shocked.
