The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs I must be Crazy to Restore a 47-53 Suburban

I do not feel confident to ID the pre-54 Suburban interior colors. The colors in your photos sure do look nice. The darker color seems very metallic. From whom did you get those sample colors?

I think that the darker brown is similar to the brown used in some 54/55 GMC trucks (but I am not sure). My 54/55 GMC COE has that dark brown. The PPG Prophet computer analysis showed it to be metallic (I could not see that with my old eyes).

Do you have a friendly PPG dealer nearby? They might be able to match the old codes and even spray a few samples?

Here is some information on 1953 interior colors in the Suburban.
