A few weeks ago I acquired an ultra clean, low mileage 82 Buick Regal Sport Coupe, 3.8L Turbo, got it from a friend's friend's 85 year mother for $800.00. Needs paint and the interior plastic pieces are deteriorating to the touch. I tool down to my local bone yards, and pick up the pieces that I need, and to get the correct color, forget it, it ain't gonna happen.
I stop in at my local automotive paint supplier, tell them my dilema, the ask me what the interior color code is, so I give them the code, 10 minutes later I have a quart of interior laquer, the exact duplicate when the car left the assembly line. Also picked up plastic prep, sprayed it, the end result? Just as new as the day the items were assembled.
Now, ya all are probably wondering what does a Buick have to do with the NCRS board, nothing but some usefull information. Instead of asking what color interior paint do I use, why not go down to the auto paint store, have them mix up a batch, if they have the hues, and you're in business.
