The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop help on interior colors

I have 1950 3100 series 1/2 ton, looks like Mariner blue was original exterior and some kinda gray interior, i keep reading about this champagne color that was cab interior then i read about a sheen grey poly color? is there any way to know what interior color would of been used with a mariner blue exterior, i dont believe the interior was any kind of champage as it looks some kinda faded grey,im not really happy to go back grey but wanted to stay original, any ideas on using champagne and was it possible some 50 models used that cab color? Thanks in advance for the help

Unless your 3100 is a panel or suburban, it seems that the only interior color in 1950 was "Sheen Gray (Metallic) Poly" - the "champaign" color that people refer to (I think).

This color seems to be as controversial as 216/235 engine colors.

It should be Champaign but it's anyones guess as to who has the correct color of champaign. Seems to be a lot of discussion on that.

Something really goofy going on here, I've posted to all three of these threads with paint numbers that work and links to pictures and they don't show up when I log back in. I'll try it again.

Here’s a sample of the PPG 27467

Thanks for the info I did find a guy named Bob Adler in NY who has been restoring painting for many moons and he said the color was slate grey and had a brown look to it, he is sending me some chips to see
Take care
