The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Recognize This ?????

Thanks guys for all of your tips. I've been in the Woods with a group of Boy Scouts since leaving this post, so here are some comments that may help you give me more.

1) The glove box door has not been sanded, only cleaned with soap and water then hand buffed with polishing compound to get the real color to come out. To the eye it is slightly darker that what the photo shows (on my screen at least). It's the best I could get in outdoor light.

2) The PO described the color as "Ugly Yellow" before painting over it. I expect that 50+ years of CA Sun had caused it to change from origional.

3) I have sanded everything below the drip rail (Int & Ext) to bare metal and found Ugly Yellow and several other variations depending on the sun/heat exposure beneath the repaint color. In every case more sanding got me down to this same color before hitting primer. The Interior and Exterior were definitely the same color.


squeeze,
Definitely not grey. Grey is what it had been repainted with so I have sanded a lot of modern Grey Acrylic away.

Truckolet,
Maybe it was named something with Gold in it, no metallic qualities though. Smooth even color throughout.

Sand Beige/Oak Beige? It looks to me like Sand Beige was not used until 56. Am I missing something in Tim's Color Sheets?
Seems like maybe there were no real standards for 55.2 as they used up the last of the 55.1 paint. Then in 56 they started with new rules.

LONGBOX55,
Definitely not Texas coast Sand but it isn't Pensacola white either. Maybe something in the Destin area but I haven't been there in several years, my memory fades. Did you find a color name or code for the almost white that yours was? Do you have photos of it that you could send?

Interior and Exterior are the same. My Steering Column, Supports, Parking Brake, etc... are all a gloss black!

tclederman,
Interior and Exterior are the same.
