Hi!

Would need a pair of armrest for my 69 Cutlass Supreme.

Tamraz sell the 16'' long I need!
My car has a 974 gold interior trim code.

Here's the link for the add with choice of color:

You can see my interior color in my restoration thread (link in signature)!

Which armrest color do you advise me?
-M43 GOLD ?
-M46 IVY GOLD ?

Tamraz tell me it would be Mustard Gold (M06), but color seems not to be what I'd need!

Thanks a lot for your help,
Chris

The repo armrests most likely wont even be close even if you get the correct coded part. All the plastic in the car is the same color (kick panels,arm rests) The pads are a different shade than the bases. If you take an original piece the inside is kept from aging and should be an exact color match.There is about 3-4 different shades of gold in the 69 gold interior on different interior components. I just finished a restoration on my 69 442 (Check major builds section) with the same Gold interior and dyed the pieces as they had changed color over the years. I sent samples to Sem and they did a custom match. Your interior is the same as mine more of the mustard gold color. I also had problems with the carpet color .Trim parts showed sample colors and when I got it wasnt even close to the sample,much to light. I had to dye it to get the correct color.

Thanks a lot for your help Greg!

What seems weird to me, is that the panels (front and rear) are the same mustard gold color.
But the front armrests seem to be more close to the rear armrests and front and rear seats), which are more close to a greenish gold than a mustard gold.

==> I just want to be sure that I have to order a color that is more close to the door panels (mustard gold) or more close to the front and rear seats (kind of greenish gold)!

Thanks a lot!

Chris got mustard gold from parts place and worked great.

Thanks a lot Dean!!
Unfortunately, just checked but Parts Place don't have the 16'' long I need.
Will take the mustard gold from Tamraz!

Other question: why is it so hard to get Supreme front armrests bases, the longer!?

yes because of the length, check w Paul at ROS 203-272-7103
