I have often helped folks with paint colors , codes and which items in the interior were painted flat or semi/flat ect. My source was an old PPG paint chip catalog. I only had the page for my year 1965. Now the WHOLE thing is available to everyone at this address.
www.autocolorlibrary.com
May I suggest that this bit of data be archived for future use ?
Just what I'v been looking for.....but I,m computer Dumb.I got to the page you posted and got to the exterior colors but couldn't get the int. color chips. Could you help this computer Dumb guy and explain one more step.Thanks.
It's not your computer literacy, just that whoever put that site together didn't post the interior color pages for many years. Actually, there probably are no PPG color "chips" for interior colors on most Corvettes, as generally PPG (the vendor the website creator seems to favor) only listed the paint formula numbers, and only on the backside of the chip sheet showing the exterior colors. It's also possible that you might find some color chips listed/shown a model year (or several years) earlier, because the color was used for several years, and not carried through to the later sheets. Frequently an interior color may have the same name (and shade of color) as an exterior color, and only the interior color formula number is listed, with a notation of flat or semi-gloss.... probably the same ingredients as the exterior color except with more flattening agent.
The example I looked at was as precise as you could ask for on interior colors. Forget about paint chips because over the internet, the net result is going to rely on the 'calibration' of your color monitor + your printer -- a nightmare issue to SERIOUS artists like press photographers using Photoshop!
The section I went to listed interior applications (separating Corvette in certain areas from passenger car), gave the basic color and its blend code, where that formula was used and the EXACT gloss factor to use! Any pro painter can take this info and run with it without having to ask any further questions, zilch, nada!!!!!
