Hello everyone 70 GS restoration going well. Have a question about the interior colors needed for various components on my car. Here is a snap shot of the breakdown given to me by the Sloane Museum: By looking at this how do I breakdown all of the pieces and their colors. Above I see the obvious ones like the carpet, headliner, etc. What about the door panels? Roof pillar covers? Arm rests? Seats? Package tray? Sun visors? Are they all Sandalwood because they are grouped in the "interior trim" section? Second question is where can I get good reproduction paint in Sandalwood and Dark Sandalwood? Thanks
For reference, my interior is Burnished Saddle.... So I had my dashboard, steering column, A pillars, metal piece below the rear window (at the back of the package tray) all painted dark brown. My body shop actually took my ashtray and read the color to match and got a code to paint the metal pieces. The seat belts I pulled out were black. And haven't sourced sunvisors yet, but I know they are brown, weather they are burnished saddle or not is a different story. I didn't know there was a difference unit seeing the above. I see on Legendary Interiors when I pick Burnished Saddle interior, the visors say brown. I didn't see visors for Sandlewood though.
Try SEM brand interior paint and dye. They offer a large selection of colors. Names of colors may be different as they are universal.
Ak for samples and try to match them to your unfaded originals. I had a ‘68 GS with Buckslin interior, and the carpet that best matched the unfaded spots was Gold and I wound up using a Ford Dark Taupe on the dash pad. Patrick
See my post on Interior Color discovery, found answers on the back of the R-M paint chip sheet. If you can find a paint chip for your 70 it might supplement the Sloan info.
