Correct Interior Colours ?
« on: June 02, 2018, 12:29:33 AM »
Hello, I'm trying to find the correct interior colour or colours for my 1965 Fastback SJ built .
63B H 62 17Q 74 1 6
I have found the following IRID light Blue 5748 & IRID Med Blue 5747 ? If anybody could guide me in the right direction that would be great.
I notice that the metal trim around the front windshield and the front posts are a darker blue that the rear trim ? Is this correct ? And what colour should the inside panels of the doors be?
Thanks for your help in advance.

All the parts came from different vendors and parts of the plant, so they were sprayed separate and often don't match exactly.  I used spray cans to do mine, so I won't be much help to you on that.

Thanks Bob, great info on that sheet ! Have you come across anything showing what Color the interior would be if you had a certain interior? For instance my car is Caspian blue with the luxury blue and white with pony interior. Would have that interior been painted the light blue or the medium blue?  I did read somewhere an just can't find it again that said the front pillars and the front windshield trim was a med blue and then the doors an rear quarter and back trim was the light metallic blue? Just trying to confirm if anybody has seen documents showing that?
Thanks again for everybody's help.

I believe that what you are looking for shows up in the Color and Upholstery Book. Unfortunately, I only have ones for 1966 and 1967. It may be in the Sales Literature also.

As stated, different suppliers "may" result in different shades.
I only have ones for 1966 and 1967.

Gday Guys and Girls - Sorry for the double post

In the process of restoring a 1966 coupe with a turquoise and white interior

Attached is a picture of the current color of the doors

I ordered locally some rattle paint to spray out and try and try and match however the paint is very thin and isn't covering

My thoughts are

L-5752 Light Aqua, Metallic - would this match?

This is the color scheme im going for

The colors change depending on viewing angle!!

Any help would be appreciated

Regards Matthew

Not sure where your car was assembled but if your going to redo these you might want to go over some of the prior threads showing the typical factory patterns used (how and where the paints covered) for specific years and plants :)
