Hi I am redoing my friends 64 Impala dash. The color of the interior is 'Aqua' . When I went to the local PPG paint shop, he said his books don't go back that far for interior colors. But they do for exterior colors.

I just need the right color mixed. Is it the same color as a certain exterior Aqua? cause then he can mix that. I guess I need more than just 'Aqua'. Is it azure aqua, or lagoon aqua?

My dash was body color not interior color (semi flat) instead of glossy. Do you know what the approx color for the dash was?

Hmmm, interesting. The dash is an old faded out aqua lookin blue, and same color on the steering wheel column. He had the car repainted white. He's restoring it for his father in law who owns it and wants it completely stock. But the color on the dash and column are definetly original. I need to go over the and decode the tag is what I should do.

Some paint stores have a gun that can match colors. Have them shoot the underside of the dash or steering collum were the sun won't fade the paint.
