The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop 47-53 grey/silver interior, dash, door paint....jim carter brown?

Much of the information in the Tech Tip given in the last post by DADS50 came from the sources at the links below (plus paint chip sheets linked-to in the Tech Tip). Information on interior parts was somewhat limited.

Here is some documentation that was used:

1953 Chevrolet Service News article.

47-55 Advance-Design colors (some of the interior colors, if shown, are "boxed" for emphasis)

Those names/codes do not help to visualize what the colors look like.

Regarding the level of gloss of interior colors, many people think that a "mild amount" of flattening compound (to achieve "low gloss" or "semi-gloss") was used in interior paints in at least some years. Documentation on this is minimal.
