Been looking for a good spray can option for interior cab paint for my 1950 Chevy cab. Would like to get as close as I can to the original color without spending a fortune. I read a lot of posts by other members that used different spray paints, and they all looked great. After trying a couple different colors on just pieces of sheet metal, I found one that was extremely close to the color I found on my dash after removing the speaker/ashtray panel. It is a DUPLI-COLOR product #BGM0331 Light Briar Brown Met. I finally decided that was the one I would go with. So, after going to get it just last week, the spot for it on the spray paint shelves was gone. The store had no stock for it in the back, none on order, etc...... Well coming home frustrated, I looked online and it seems like they just discontinued it, just my luck! If anyone has a color you thought was a very good match, let me know what the color was and the brand of the paint, any recent photo's of your interior cab paint job would be appreciated. Thanks.

Wayne, Thanks for the response. Has anyone used the paint from Jim Carters in their cab, is it a good color match to the original? If someone has used this paint and has any pictures I am curious to see how it turned out. Thanks.
