OK, want to be sure i have this right.
If the car's interior color is saddle.
First-
We use Medium Saddle Poly #22570 -In a gloss finish- on most all of these interior parts.
Dash, column, garnish moldings, etc. Basically, most all the stuff painted brown.
Then-
We'll use Dark Saddle Poly #22573 -in a gloss finish- On certain other items?
The Saddle interior uses this other dark saddle color?
Or is our second color something else besides dark saddle?
They didn't use like medium dark fawn or..?
They list the parts being painted this color as:
Instrument panel end filler
Floor shift transmission panel base
Rear Front Back radio speaker grille
Short console
Since our car was an automatic, and i didn't see any speaker covers.
Guessing this just means the big plastic console itself?
It sure -looks- like the same saddle color as everything else to me...
WTF is "instrument panel end filler" or "transmission panel base"?
Guessing "short console" is a.k.a. consolette on stick cars?
Finally-
We have more Dark Saddle Poly #22534 -in a flat finish- on other parts.
The list these parts as:
Upper instrument panel - painted
Grill rear window defroster, rear seat speaker, package shelf
Guidematic. Front speaker grill
Windshield lower frame - (exposed end area)
Compartment front panel
I'm guessing they did some flat paint along under the bases of windows to keep glare down.
You don't see shiny dashes and lower trim because it reflects on the window blocking visibility.
As for how that would work for us,
It's going to be tricky because there's another guy wielding the spray gun.
-Might- just go ahead and shoot the brown stuff myself,
Or maybe have him shoot the dash and all the regular gloss saddle,
Then re-mask and shoot the few flat corners at the window bases?
We'll see how the guy feels.
Exactly the kind of stuff to drive a painter crazy...
(He does restomods)
The chances of me being there while he's shooting to get that right are near nil.
So...
Anybody know what "upper instrument panel - painted" is?
How about "compartment front panel"?
Guessing what's next is getting a bit of paint.
pint of Saddle in gloss,
half-pint of Dark Saddle in gloss
half-pint of Dark Saddle in flat
So, some spray-outs, and dig out all of our interior parts to be painted.
Wash them all up really well and haul them all out into the sun.
-Maybe- with some help, we can identify which interior parts are dark saddle.
As to where the interior gets the flat paint,
We'll just have to wing it.
It's all flat paint 60 years later on this car.
It sat outside.
Think I'm on the right track?
Even on the right train??
