Hi

I looked at SEM products and did not see the interior colors Im looking for? Anybody have any luck finding the 70 light blue or Gold colors . This is for the plastics like console, kick panels seat plastics etc.

Thanks

 

Try The parts place they may have it. Helps if you know the color name. I needed 1970 bright blue for my el Camino and found it there.
best regards

 

I just remembered I have 3 cans of light blue I bought by mistake #1794 parts place m12 Lt. blue. If this is your color
let me know I’ll never use them.

I have a recent paint chip chart from SEM and it seems like all they carry anymore are greys and tans. You're probably better off using the factory paint codes to get paint mixed properly.

 

Joe,
SEM doesn’t have it. After much hunting the only gm interior color vinyl sprays was at the parts place.
I couldn’t find it on their online catalog but found it easily on EBay. They also carry the gold shockrebuild is looking for.
Only reason I know this is because of my 70 elcamino a couple of years ago. Never did find the correct medium blue,
however the bright blue was a perfect match to my dash and dashpad so I sprayed the seat, arm rests and it came out pretty nice.

 

Yeah, that's why I suggested that if you're looking for a correct match, about the only option is to use the factory interior paint codes and have it custom mixed. Obviously a prepackaged aerosol can will be a lot less expensive if it's close enough.

 

Yes Joe that's what I found. I sent them ( SEM) a email today , I will let you guys know what they say. Seems like all the interiors parts I see are black. Im interested in finding the colors in gold ,green, blue,tan, etc. You would think in todays times they would have these colors pretty available without having to mix special.

Good conversation guys

 

No car built in the last 20 or 30 years has had an interior that wasn't grey, tan, or black. SEM primarily serves the body shop market. They aren't really a resto products vendor. As for the interior colors from the 50s and 60s, there are literally hundreds of variations of gold, green, blue, etc used in the interiors. There is no way a company could stock all those colors for the very limited market. The only pre-packaged colors you'll find are the ones used on mainstream collector cars - Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes - where there's enough of a market to justify stocking the colors. For the rest of us, custom mixing is the only cost effective way to do it.

 

A good paint and body shop supply can mix any interior color in a vinyl dye. Really good ones can also put the mixed paint in an aerosol can for you. Check around to local paint suppliers. If they can't put it in a can for you, buy yourself a Preval spray set up.

 

Contact Kolor Korrect and tell them what you need. As for the '70 light blue metallic, they can mix up lacquer based on the original code. Good Olds interior colors or reference your PIM as the codes are in there. If you can't find it, they have the ability to look it up. There are several blue colors used on the '70 interior. The dash is different than the seat backs than the steering wheel hub, etc. You get the point. Their paints aren't cheap but it's a 100% match.

The same applies to the gold for '70. If you spray everything a single gold, you're doing it wrong. Different interior parts received a different shade of gold.

 

Similar question for my blue interior '71 VC; I see the Interior Color chart (Section 0 p 37) which lists the semi gloss & flat lacquer and semi gloss enamel, and a chart on p 43 that mentions Olds IBM

 

Similar question for my blue interior '71 VC; I see the Interior Color chart (Section 0 p 37) which lists the semi gloss & flat lacquer and semi gloss enamel paint codes, and a chart on p 43 that mentions Olds IBM codes, but I cannot find a chart for the different shades as you mention Wthirty. What am I missing?

 

Take those codes and call Kolor Korrect. For ‘70, there’s a dark blue, dark blue metallic, light blue metallic, etc. Use your interior color chart and place an order. If it’s like my manual for ‘70, it’ll tell you what interior pieces are what color.
