65 interior color code

[mike poupart]

We are restoring a 65 roadster and need an interior paint code or codes for the correct blue on the interior hard parts that paint suppliers can recognize.

Thanks

My '65 charts show two interior shades of blue

.... and two different gloss levels.

This comes from a Nov '64 Tech Service Bulletin, Note that the Ditzler source is the only one that provides great detail on what interior component gets what.
I've also included black to identify code and the interior components that get painted that color.

----------------------------------

Ditzler / PPG: (3 =Low? Gloss) Medium Dark Blue; code 13069
-Used on instument panel, Windshield Lower Garnish, Radio Speaker Screen, Heater outlet Panel, Seat and Jack Stowage Wells

Medium Blue; (3 gloss) code 13071
-Used on Headliner, Rear Compartment Inner Area, Linkage Cover Panel Outer

Black code 9292 (3 Gloss)
-Used on Directional Signal Housing, Mast Jacket, Steering Wheel Hub, Steering column Escutcheon, Glove Box Frame, Linkage cover Panel Inner

Medium blue Full Gloss, code 13057
-Used on Windshield side and upper Garnish Mouldings, Upper Garnish Mouldings, Halo Panel, Hardtop Garnish Mouldings, Door Uper -- Inner, Kick Panel Retainer, Lock Pillar Return Flange and Cap (Inner)
-----------------------------------------------------

Rinshed-Mason (RM) did not provide any interior codes.
------------------------------------------------

Dupont: (3 Gloss); Medium Dark blue 9189-LH; Medium blue 9223-LH

Wayne,
Thanks for the help. I have contacted all of my local PPG suppliers. One was able to translate some of the numbers listed. I am being told that those are lacquer numbers and no longer can be crossed over. I need current info to be able to order the paint.

I'm looking at the same Ditzler chart and what Wayne reports is TRUE.
However, the back of the DUPONT charts shows only ONE MEDIUM BLUE FOR THE CORVETTE - 9223LH in "3 Gloss".

Try AutoColor library

Here's their URL. I got my original lacquer interior paints (red and white) through them and they are spot on.

If it is medium blue, I just had a panel scanned and a pint of interior paint mixed. I can get you the code tomorrow
