If you look really hard at an original cab interior, in protected spots, you will find the color CD is selling. But it is a lot darker than you will expect. And expensive. But it is enamel, while other vendors sell lacquer. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 39 Member | | Member Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 39 | I recently sprayed the interior of my 52 GMC with the Chevy Duty interior paint. I would describe it more as a flat grey metal metallic, somewhere between cast iron and stainless steel with just a hint of bronze or brown shading. Actually, mushroom metallic (as I have heard it described) comes pretty close to a verbal description. Anyway, the color of the paint supplied by Chevy Duty did closely match original paint found in my interior. A word of caution though: the Chevy Duty paint is enamal that requires a hardener, which you must order from a seperate supplier (Sherwin Williams brand).  I hope this helps some!

Go over to the Engine & Driveline Forum. Look at the 53 on the Post My old 53 is almost New... New Old 53 has the Champagne paint from Chevy Duty on the interior of his truck. That is as close as I've seen | | | | | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 224 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2003 Posts: 224 | excellant relpies guys, thanks alot. i was pretty sure that chevy duty would have a reliable paint color that was close to the original. i guess the lady i talked to just didnt really know how to describe it.
