Does anyone have suggestions for a source for interior paint? We are look to paint the steering wheel we just bought, the column and some of the interior metal panels. Our 64 Cutlass trim code is 945--Holiday Red according to the chips on this site:

But is this the color of the metal on the doors and dash, or for the upholstered parts? Has anyone had any luck with DupliColor? We did have a local paint shop take a sample, and it's going to be $55.00 per pint to mix up, plus reducer, plus clear coat.

Your favorite auto paint store can mix up correct flat and semi-gloss interior paint to the correct code numbers. The TCP Global auto color library (http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/) will list the approriate interior paint codes for the colors available that year. This info is usually on the back of the paint chip cards.

While installing our new steering wheel, I found the original turn signal collar under the stainless steel strip, hose clamp and crome tape someone else put on to "match" the aftermarket wheel. It was kid of grungy, so I cleaned it up, roughed up the paint and repainted it with the only red paint I had on hand, the Dupli Color caliper paint I used on the brake drums. It's pretty close to the red Olds used on the dash and doors--closer than what the wheel is painted.
