66 interior paint

[Willard M.]

I can't find the paint code for silver interior paint on my 66. The exterior is easy to find through places like auto color library, but what about interior paint. Also, what is the correct underhood black. Is it flat,low gloss, or something else?

Bill -

The underhood blackout is more like semi-flat; Krylon #1613 or John Deere "Blitz Black".

Since Silver Pearl Poly. (PPG code number DDL 32449) was the exterior silver offered in both '65 and '66, do you suppose it's a safe bet to assume the interior silver carried over as well? If so, the interior silver is PPG code DDL 32484 for the low gloss and DDL 32470 for the full gloss areas. These are the '65 codes for silver.

If you need me to, I can stop by my paint supplier and look at the back of his '66 PPG color chart and see if it shows the interior color codes.

When I painted my engine compartment blackout, I flattened PPG's off-the-shelf black (DDL 9300) with flattening agent and created my own semigloss black. That worked very well. PPG has a code for low gloss black (DDL 9292) but I didn't discover that until I had created my own.
