hello, i was hoping someone could tell me the paint code or color for the paint on the interior panels and lower dash on my car. the body tag is as followws body fw 3138 trim 56 paint j7 m. i'v figured out the body paint but not the interior,, thanks for any help. larry
Please post a picture of the trim tag (the aluminum data plate) so folks can see the codes for themselves...
the car wont be back from the body shop till sometime nex week. the info i posted was copied directly from the tag. heres a little more to go on, the original color found under some of the trim pieces was like an olive green thanks
Larry,
A couple of options;
You can visit the THE CADILLAC COLOR, UPHOLSTERY & ACCESSORY DATABASE â€" 1940-1979 at the Raritan River Region Chapter;
http://www.rrrclc.org/the-cadillac-color-upholstery-accessory-database-1940-1979/
Or
Download the GM Vehicle Information Kits from the GM Heritage Center;
(Note: large files)
https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits.html
For these codes.
Good luck..!
J. Gomez, thank you for the links unfortunately the info is not there so the mystery color still alludes me.
Larry,
Under page XXXI under the color combination Interior it shows the green tones as dark (Briar Green) or light (Cedar Green) with their respective RM and Dupont formulas.
If I’m not mistaken the interior colors apply to all metal pieces dash, door panel, window trims etc under page XXXIII - XXXV
From what I recall the color tones dark or light are also related to the upholstery color tone scheme.
Other ’54 folks may chime in if I’m in error.
I see the colors for the fabric but not the metal trim, unless I'm missing it. I'm looking under the heritage center link.
thanks
larry
(PDF) Pages 174-175 of the Heritage center download has the codes you need. Mr Gomez gave the correct numbers as printed on the original pages
