First, I apologize if this is covered elsewhere.


I'm finishing up a restoration of a 73 coupe. The interior is a light chocolate color of brown.


I just want to touch up the metal on the doors and dash. I've bought 5-6 different spray cans but can't find the right shade.


Does anyone know where I can get the exact color that the car came with?


Thanks!

My suggestion (and what I did with mine) is take it to an auto paint store and have the original paint computer scanned.  Then they will custom-mix paint to match.  It's a bit pricey ($15-20 for a rattle can) but cheaper than buying 5 - 6 cans that don't match.  Good luck!

Thanks, Dwayne and Dianne.


I tried getting the paint custom matched at an auto paint store. You're right, Dwayne, it's spendy. But it still didn't match. Plus they made it semi-transparent despite knowing what it was for. Go figure.


I'd hoped to only paint spots, but if the paint doesn't match exactly, I'll paint all of it as you suggest, Dianne.


Again, thanks for the suggestions. It's much appreciated!

You talked me into it. 


I'll give it another shot at a different store.


Thanks for the support.
