Interior Paint, Dash and Steering Column Advice

(04-22-2020, 05:42 AM)1969_Mach1 Wrote: That is a tough one.  Some Mustangs had such a dark charcoal color with fine metallic on the metal interior parts it looks satin black in normal light.  I made that mistake on mine, but, I'm not going to go back and repaint anything.  To distinguish a charcoal from black most people will shine a flashlight directly onto an area that isn't typically exposed to the sun.  You might have to disassemble part of the steering column to do find an area that's hidden from the sun and that a previous owner hasn't repainted.

You might find some info in NPD's catalog.

Thanks for the reply...I'm thinking the charcoal (fine metallic) is pretty close to the original.  I'm also finding out that the original Interior paint company is long gone - so exact color might be tough.
