C2 console paint

[Larry S.]

My '67 has a dark saddle interior, and I need to repaint the metal console plate around the shifter. Since the paint would almost abut the radio side panels, a close match is needed. Does anyone sell spray cans of the correct color? Seems foolish to pay a paint store $100 to mix it (and they'd just be eye-balling the match) for a few shots of paint. Thanks.

Larry, Any of the bigger/major parts houses have it. I just did it for a complete color change on a 67 and used Corvette America's dye & primer, Paragon has it also. Taping the console piece is a painstaking job - use good paint sealing tape and take your time.

Thank you, Bob. Paragon's website is freezing up right now, so I can't see what is has. I saw the dye/primer at Corvette America, but this seemed unduly complicated, and I wasn't sure if the sheen is correct.
