Default Paint ?

I don't see a section for painting or finding restoration paint. I'm looking to get a correct color, single stage urethane in Rinshed-Mason 66B84, Dark Fawn for 1966 Chevelle interior.

Anyone have a source for this ?

You really need to take a piece of the exact color paint from the car and have it matched to an original piece - preferably something which was not exposed to sunlight etc... the back of a molding perhaps.

Car had black interior. Doing the color change, because I don't like black and the fawn looks much better with the Aztec Bronze.
So, the paint doesn't need to match anything, just be a close facsimile to the original Dark Fawn and be single stage urethane.

I did a color change on a dash once and out here in Seattle, I went to Wesco Autobody Supply and they looked up the color in an old DuPont book and then mixed it and I was all set. Expensive as is all paint with reducer and hardener, but perfect color match to original. Maybe call them and they'll ship to you? https://wescopbe.com/

Good luck

Well, Wescopbe can't find any reference to any of the 3 codes I gave him for the Dark Fawn paint ???

Yep, gave him the Dupont, R-M and Ditzler codes and he couldn't find any reference to any of them in is interchange book. This is an outlet in AZ. I couldn't find any in the Seattle area proper and didn't know which had been used. Shipping paint from the north could get questionable this late in the fall.

I am not 100% sure but I think it's #42533d. Ask your painter what the # refers to.

Since you are in Wisconsin....contact
Finish-Masters @ (800) 779-6520....they are in Wisconsin.

They can mix the paint for you and ship it to you....pint, quart, gallon or aerosol spray can.
All you need is the paint code.

Dan
