I want to replace the front arm rest pads on Teepo, but I don't know what color her interior is?? Can some of you guru's with manuals help me figure it out?

Here's a pic of her cowl tag.

I was looking at Rob's interior thread on Lady again, and I see the name SEM paint mentioned..... I don't know anything about this stuff. Can someone also tell me about SEM paint? Is it available in all the old car colors that were used, or where would I get paint once I know what color I need?

The arm rest bases are good on Teepo, it's just the driver's side pad has a little chunk tore out of it - I don't know how they did that - so I'd like to replace it. I know Fusicks sell the arm rest pads and bases, but not in green!

Then I'm sure I'll need help in figuring out how to get the pad off the base, lol. Looks like the base has to come off and then there are screws that hold the pad on to the base in Rob's pics.

As always, I appreciate your help guys!

 

http://semproducts.com/Catalog.asp?prod=190 They have a great reputation for interior paints that do hold up. I actually used some last week to change the color of my dash from dark blue to Landau Black and it looks great. They have a chip chart you can down load. And they have many colors offered. There are folks that i know who have used the product on seats and have been on there for a couple years now with out cracking. Hope this link helps you find what you are looking for.

 

Thanks for the link...... I don't see any green on the color chart at all though.

 

You can go to a paint supplier and they can mix interior colors to.

 

Sandy, it's green. Look here. http://www.oldsmobility.com/mpc/trim.htm

 

Oh for God's sake, lol! I know it's green..... what color green is the question, lol! Thank you Ken!

 

Dark green Ditzler code 44508 Interior

Pinehurst Green Poly Exterior with white top
Hope this helps.

 

Now that's more like it, lol!! Thanks Scott! Now..... where would I get it?

 

smsautofabrics.com has the exact match for your interior, the kicker is that it comes in lengths and you have to get an experienced upholsterer to install it. They also will redo your door panels in house but it takes forever and is very pricey. Other places like OPGI and yearone are not so correct. IMO. Keep us posted.

Yearone.com does have them for around $30. each

 

Yearone has the arm rest pads?? That's all I'm looking for. Or where to get the correct color paint to paint repo ones from Fusick. I'll go look up yearone. Thanks!

 

Any auto paint store in your area should be able to mix up pints, quarts or more with the ditzler code. As far as the armrests go, just as long as you replace both it should look great and with yearone you won't have to bother with paint.

 

Well I just looked at Yearone, and I like those arm rest pads, lol! I think I will get them!! I suppose I "mightaswell" get the new chrome plastic backing plates too while I'm at it. You are a good investigator there Scott! Thanks a bunch!! You may have to be my new hero, since Blue deserted me, lol! No, he's irreplacable.... you'll have to be second!

 

I woulda help cha out Sandy, But I'm gett'ing sun burned grown hawg hunt'in.

 

Thanks a lot Jamesbo, lol!!!!! Are ya getting any?? Groundhogs, that is!

 

Thanks for the complements and just try to talk Blue into coming back. I read something about what happened but didn't see the thread where they were ******* his vista or the vista in general. I think it was on ROP. And said he was selling his vista and car guys used to get along.

Anyway the moderators and administrator are way better here, he should know that. I hope everything works good for Teepo.

 

WTH is going on??? That car was his inspiration and pride for as long as I can remember...We used to share such good natured banter with him all the time.

Someone's gotta know something or be able to get in touch with him??? Far as I know, us car guys over here on CO do get along. Sometimes spirited, but I believe our Olds community is very strong and supports each other.

 

Blue didn't like ROP because of all the hard heads and bickering that went on - hard to believe he still went on there, but I don't know! I'm gonna have to go out there one day and see what's going on. We all miss him.

 

Really ? wow , his wagon is one of the coolest looking wagons I ever seen , I cant see how someone could bash it....unfortunately the world is full of that.

im assuming we are talking about BlueVista right ?

 

I agree Allan. I think his wagon is beautiful, sorry he is selling it.
