This should really help to confuse you...Both Flint built one is a Seamist Green 70 the other a 71 White
All my Flint cars are the same color as the black on the dash. I believe they were installed before the dash was painted,so they were the same color.
It should have a type of coating,possibly phosphate,or a thin coat of blackish,but that could also depend on the plant.
Here's pictures, out of a 72 Skylark parts car I cut up some kind of black coating satin black finish if the Vin tag is the color of the Dash there's a problem. View attachment 382270 View attachment 382271 View attachment 382270 View attachment 382271 View attachment 382270 View attachment 382271
