I need to find the correct 1969 Camaro interior paint for the metal area of the dash and rear deck

It can be mixed in Dupont interior paint. I had a low mileage 69 Camaro that was missing the Dark Green ashtray and had a worn console lid. The paint matched perfectly.

Thanks, Jason. Do you have the Dupont interior paint code number? I did have my local jobber eye match the vinyl to mix the Dupont dye, but I don't have a sample for the metal areas. They gave me the formula for the dye, but I'm not sure if just changing the resins will give me the correct color needed for the metal.

It should be listed in the color book in the interior section. That is where I got the number. Does your paint store have the old books?

If it helps,Camaro dark green interior code #723 & #725,the upper instrument panel,speaker grilles,defog grille,and back window garnish were originally painted with Fisher #WOA3873 & tintometer formula #169V34.

The lower instrument panel & back window upper cornish were painted with Fisher #W0A3873 & tintometer formula #169V31.

I have a low mileage fathom green/dk green interior '69 camaro here that is stripped to the shell. It has all the original interior finishes if you need pics. The dash paint looks fairly shiny and is original dark green.

Thanks everyone for your help!!!!!! By the powers of the internet I found a company close to me in Appleton, WI; APS Tower Paint Company. They can still mix the PPG acrylic lacquer, in spray cans or pints, quarts and gallons. Fair prices too!

I suggest calling them. Bob was very helpful and nice to work with. Hope this helps others in need.
