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?

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

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.

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

I will have to swing by and check it out. I am dying to get my truck built and life keeps getting in the way.

My 16yr old son painted the whole interior of my old 64, including tu-toning dash.
I wanted something different, not stock fawn color.

I think he did a killer job.

Send that boy of yours out here and he can practice some more on my 64...... he did do a good job.

I did mine with omni single stage and a tp tools turbine system. My first paint job and first time using a turbine. Ran a couple of places and dry in acouple of places but not bad.

[WhippinSaw]

I did mine the hard way.

[Logans 66]

I agree, he did a great job...Looks awesome...

We painted my GMC with Ditzler (ppg) the factory color and formula are a satin type color (flattened) so it does not reflect in your eyes as bad as a shiny color.....Kieth

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

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.
