57 Interior Paint

[Dan D.]

I am about to paint my steering column (I have it out of the car), lower dash, and gas tank cover Venetian Red. I found the following paint codes on a paint site. Could you guys confirm that these are the correct codes? Is the interior Venetian Red the same red that is used on the exterior?
Valspar: MW5601
PPG: 70694
Dupont: 59388

Also, I have not found a code for the flat black used on the upper dash. Help needed for this please. Thanks in advance.

Dan, I just had mine done with Dupont paint and the code was 59388K. The upper dash should be semiflat in the same color as the car. The painter flattened the car color 50% and it turned out right. Jim

Thanks Jim. That's the same Dupont # I have, except I don't know the significance of the 'K'. So I will flatten out some Onyx Black for the upper. -Dan-

Dan, silver cove color was not Inca Silver - the coves were Silver metallic. Gary....

Hi Gary, yes, I am aware that the coves are not Inca. Right now I am still quite aways away from body paint. I have the dash all apart and am trying to get over that battle. Then the new wiring, the engine goes back in, and I will be much happier -Dan-
