Posted November 12, 20177 yr comment_534626 Does anyone know the paint color code for the dark brown interior in a 77 280Z? I've done some repairs to some of the trim panels and would like to paint them.

November 12, 20177 yr comment_534638 I don't know the paint code but I had mine custom mixed at an automotive paint store where they color matched from the back side of a panel. The dark brown is actually close to a Ginger color. They tested the plastic of the panels to figure out what type of plastic it was and recommended a water based paint after cleaning with a degreaser and using then SEM Sand free for proper adhesion. It came out great. Warning! When cleaning with a degreaser it will discolor your panels badly, but the new paint covers everything well.

November 24, 20177 yr Author comment_535731 I still struggle with the color. The paint shop claimed that in order to be able to color match it the panel needed to be steel Could be that I need to check with another paint shop but so far no luck in finding the paint code.

November 24, 20177 yr comment_535735 Don't they have color swatches to visually match the color? That's the simple way. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58941-dark-brown-interior-paint-color-code/#findComment-535735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
November 24, 20177 yr comment_535743 My paint guides only go upto '74, but you might be able to talk to PPG and give them the paint #.
