Default dash touch up paint?

Anyone have a color code for the flat black on the 63-67 dashes that they've used with success, or possibly another unrelated code that has worked nicely? I've seen several choices and wanted to know what has worked. thx in advance.

Do you mean the main fiberglass dash panel, or the cluster and glove box door?

the cluster, like areas around the screw holes and below the ignition which typically get nicked up. i see it described as a semi flat gm black, but wasn't sure if there was a code out there, or someone has found something that works as a substitute. semi flat colors are not the easiest to match usually.

That would be SEM 39143 Trim Black.

Good stuff. .. Used it on both the glove box door and instrument cluster. Though both were completely resprayed it very much matched the factory finish, IMO. For an exact match it should come close.

In the other thread the fellow used SEM "Euro" Trim Black 39003.
Looks like it is more of a satin finish, less flat, maybe closer to original?

On 64 and later it should match your interior color.

If you don't want to order the SEM Trim Black on line, try your local auto body paint supply store. That's where I get it.

Don't think you will find it at just any auto supply or hardware store.
