Hi, I'm finally ready to start bodywork on my 1950 Chevy pickup. I'm painting it the original green. My question is about colors.
The outside body will be green. I guess I'll put the 3M rubberized undercoating under the cab. I'm not sure about the inside of the cab. Does that all get the factory green?
Hi Mike, There were 3 greens as I'm certain you know. The interiors were all painted (for lack of a better term) a champagne goldish color. GM used this for several years and the exact formula/color is somewhat open to debate. You can see what I used below, and I matched this to a piece which had not seen sunshine since it was originally painted. If you want the name/number, please let me know. Most people like this mixed with a de-glossing agent.
You can see what exterior colors were used by following this link (plus a ton of other information):
thank you very much for the info. Thank you also for the pic. I wasn't sure where to start the interior color. That's a pretty ugly color. I love it. I think I will definitely go with a deglossing agent. I presume that's an additive i put in the paint?
I would love to get the paint number from you if you have time.
