I personally like Chevy Duty's interior paint, it is enamel and a close match. Except Chevy Duty has changed their name, cannot recall what it is right now. The column was brown. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 887 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 887 | The column and steering wheel were one color, the rest is another color.
I took my steering column to a paint store and they matched the color for me and sold me a pint of it for $15 bucks. The color was dead on. I used 'bulldog' on the wheel before painting it. Bulldog is a paint adhesion promoter for use on flexible parts, like plastic bumpers and vinyl tops, etc...
When you paint the interior don't forget the seat frame/base. and speaker/glove box grill center pieces.
