Paint color for cab

[dtkarst]

I know it has been asked a million times before but I was looking for a color to paint the interior of my 66 closest to factory. I was hoping to use some spray cans or brush it on but dont know what color i need. I have heard that people have gotten some at westlake but again, not sure of what color. Any help would be great. thanks

The original fawn color was metalic, and metalic paint won't look right if it's brushed on. Duplicolor makes (or atleast at one point made) a very small touch up size can that matches pretty well, but they're so small that you'd need probably 20 cans. If you wind up and decide to have paint mixed to match, 2003 Nissan Sunlit Sand, code "EVO" is a good match. A paint shop may be able to pull up the Duplicolor you'll need based on the Nissan code. The dash panel on '66 trucks were a dark brown with a texturing agent- not sure how to replicate that though.

Here's a '65 that I repainted.

theastronaut: that looks really close,wow. I have a ford color: sahara metallic, but i think its got too much gold in it. I like your nissan evo.

i got gm caddy color called Olympic ill try and get code tomorrow. i mixed it up to be flat. i know the paint shop in town can put any color in a spray can with a press looking thing and they charge 15$ a can for it. might ave a place near u that does it call around?

I used krylon champagne metallic at walmart it seems pretty close to fawn metallic.

my 61 k10 interior is not fawn or a real silver, more like a gray and not metallic. the dash is white (steering wheel/column/below the instrument panel) dash is charcoal like has been posted. here are some pics--also is this a stock seat cover?----thanks

I remember seeing a great thread made by SFTOrange. he did the legwork for color and this is the "recipe" for the factory interior color:

Medium Fawn: 60% gloss
DuPont: #9171-L
Ditzler: #DL-22571
Rinshed-Mason: #65B84

Dark Fawn: 0% Gloss
DuPont: #9202-L
Ditzler: #DIA 22568

Here is the link to his thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=437222

I hope this info helps you out.

My truck also has that gray color. What color is it? I am planning on just painting it the body color or something close to fawn. I have found that the rustoleum smoke gray is real close. What should I do.

[61K10]

yes what color is it? looks close to the 58-59? funny, found Res. smoke gray also, and it's close.

That grey actually reminds me of the service trucks my father drove when he was a plumber.
