Dark brown interior, paint color code?

Featured Replies

Does anyone know the paint color code for the dark brown interior in a 77 280Z? I've done some repairs to some of the trim panels and would like to paint them.

I don't know the paint code but I had mine custom mixed at an automotive paint store where they color matched from the back side of a panel. The dark brown is actually close to a Ginger color.  They tested the plastic of the panels to figure out what type of plastic it was and recommended a water based paint after cleaning with a degreaser and using then SEM Sand free for proper adhesion.  It came out great.  Warning!  When cleaning with a degreaser it will discolor your panels badly, but the new paint covers everything well.

I still struggle with the color. The paint shop claimed that in order to be able to color match it the panel needed to be steel :( Could be that I need to check with another paint shop but so far no luck in finding the paint code.

Don't they have color swatches to visually match the color?  That's the simple way.

My paint guides only go upto '74, but you  might be able to talk to PPG and give them the paint #.
