Center console 1965 color Saddle Tan?

[Bob W.]

Hi guys restoring a 65 Glenn green. Can anyone tell me where I can get the saddle tan paint for the center console. Been on multiple websites seems to be a little bit of a conflict with the color. Hoping someone could help me out thank you very much Bob Winski

Top Flight Automotive (Corvette America) sells a great dye paint that works very well. Or you can go to a auto body paint store and have some custom mixed

When I restored my 65 Glenn Green w/ green interior I switched over to saddle interior and used Corvette America interior dye to paint on all my hard pieces (dash, center console, etc.). For the best results use a spray gun vice rattle can to apply the dye.

Bob, I was able to get an aerosol spray dye from Paragon that was a very good match for my saddle-tan interior radio cowl panels on my 1965 coupe (also Glen Green). As I noticed, the interior color of saddle-tan varies all over the map on my car, depending on the piece and material, which I believe is par for the Chevy course (at least there were no Flight judging deductions). Also note that Paragon has a saddle-tan listed for 1963-64, 1965-66, and 1967. I ordered the 1965-66, rots of luck. Best regards, Elliott

As Elliott stated the interior color of saddle-tan varies all over the map and I found this to be true also when using rattle cans. The shade of color was different can to can so I switched to a quart of dye and used a spray gun to apply the dye.
