How much difference is there between Bombay Ivory and a regular ivory that i could buy from a spray can at WalMart/AutoZone/AdvancedAuto/NAPA/etc? | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 | Bombay Ivory I know was used as a body color but the 58 truck data book I have states that Arctic Beige was used exclusively for trim parts i.e. bumpers, grill, headlight bezels etc. My 59 however had the grill and bezels painted the body color, Pure White, but the bumpers were the Arctic Beige. Trying to accomplish a correct resto here so any help/advice is appreciated here.
Perhaps Bombay Ivory and Arctic Beige are a close match (?). Then again there is the possibility that the trim color changed between 58 and 59. Anyone out there with a 59 truck data book or the correct color/code for 59 truck trim?
Bruce :confused:

I just got a look at a 1959 book today and trim color on 59's is Bombay Ivory. Seems that GM did indeed change the trim color for 58's and 59's :confused: Or maybe just the color name you think? :rolleyes:  Thanks for your info but PLEASE next time use a BIGGER HAMMER  Bruce
