Interior Paint Spec.

[Jeffrey A. Florek]

I'm in the process of freshening up the interior dash area of my '66 convertible. The car has a black vinyl interior. Part of the effort is to paint the steering column tube, speaker grill, and radio console side panels. I purchased a can of "Dash Cluster Semi-Gloss Black" spray paint from Corv. Cent. for this (ref part #101023). Before I start can someone tell me if this is the appropriate paint for these areas of the interior? Also, what process does one go through to restore the main console, including re-chroming? Thanks for any help.

Re: Interior Paint Spec.

Jeff, I own a 66 myself and I have not used this paint. When I wanted to touch up my dash area I used Krylon semi-gloss paint (162 or 1613 - don't remember which it is)with very good results. Gary

What About Dark Blue?

Has anyone done this to a dark blue interior car? I have a '64 and am having trouble finding the right paint. Thanks for the help.

Re: What About Dark Blue?

Dark Blue is tough because the Original mix is not available, even if you have the codes. I went through this with a friend a few weeks ago, and he wound up using the mix for a '63 Pass car dark blue interior. It is a very close match.
