Anyone have the proper paint code for a custom dash and interior parts?... or something close?....
Thanks

There's this from 1957ford.com, a little tough to read though.
Awesome Marc!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!
It looks like the factory grey. When we did my car we tried to get a match from the paint vendors without success. I hope you can find a cross reference. My painter ended up doing a custom mix to get as close as possible. This is a very tough paint to match.
The image I posted is probably not the correct color.... I have my painter on it and see what he can come up with.....
take into consideration that the dash and trim is not a shiny paint. it is semi gloss. it makes the color look very different from a base/ clear paintjob. I am sure that Jay can tell you more about it. his dash looks spot on.
G,... I owe you and Jay an email or 2..I will holler at Jay tomorrow.

I will look around the shop for the can so I can get the number for you. It was a one step Centari paint. (No base coat clear coat) Jay
Centari? Now who's showing their age Jay? I remember using that Acrylic Enamel in the early '80's, Dupont's Wonder paint; I switched to RM shortly after that, then to Sherwin Williams.... jeesh, I guess I'm old too.
I used a Duplicolor paint, matched to the backside of some original trim. It dries to a satin finish because it is intended to be clear coated. I can get the can info if anybody wants it.

WOW! Joe.... Time sure does slip away quickly. It seems like just yesterday that I was doing Centari paint jobs.
Jeff . If that's your car in the picture that you posted, that steering wheel and horn button are no good. Only the cheap models have that. Take them off and I'll get rid of them for you. Then you can install the deluxe wheel with the pretty horn button with the ring around it. I'm sure that I have a few of the deluxe ones laying around.
Just trying to do you a favor. Jay
To Jeff and others. I contacted member John Viera about the dash and trim color. This is his reply and the color that he used.
Jay my dash and interior moldings I sprayed PPG Global brand code 927783 the color it is from Renault, Oyster Gray. You gave me a CENTARI M2231A silver number. He can check the pictures of my car I think there is a good shot of dash and moldings. John
