from Keith Hardy's site. The numbers are Dupont numbers.

Good luck.

There is no mixing formual for dash/interior paints. The paint was available only in pre-mixed.
The light gray that was used on the lower dash areas was a non-metalic light gray. The top of the dash was kind of an off gray with a slight green tinge. It is metalic. The best match for it was a Honda color from a few years ago. I can't find the name at this time.
For the light gray I would try to find a sample on the dash and have some paint eye-mixed.

went to the sight you mailed me about the exterior codes are available but the interior code is the one i cant figure out will keep on looking thanks

on my first post the second number of each code could be a "4'THE ONE PAGE I VIEWED WAS NOT CLEAR

like GENE has stated honda having a color that omes close does any one know the name of the color i beleive it was used in 2005 or even 1984

The dark gray was Dupont Duco #841, the light gray was #626.There is no mixing formula shown and could only be purchased pre-mixed when new.
There should be some good sample of either color some where.The back of the glove compartment door would be good for the light gray - and- back of the rear view mirroe or a moulding around the back window for the dark gray.
on a DeLuxe 4 door the top of the dash, steering column, shift lever,window mouldings,and inner part of the steering wheel cross bar were dark Titan gray.The outter rim of the steering wheel was Silver gray.The outter rim of the plastic horn button was also Titan gray, but not painted-was colored plastic.I would describe the Silver gray as a very light gray - with no tan color (we all see colors differently)The gray is a little lighter than the Grecian Gray exterior of my all original 1950.The Titan gray is very metalic and I have never seen it duplicated well.Would call it a dark gray with a slight blue tint-Or Aqua????
1950 is the only year the colors were used.-

The above is a posting by Gene from ChevyTalk a while back. I hope this refers to what you need.

More info (from Ram_51)

Top of dash is a dark grey/green/blue color in the sedan...as were the window garnish mouldings. The lower portion of the dash is a grey/tan color. Chevrolet called them "Titan Grey Metalic" for the top color and "Silver Grey" for the lower dash color. The steering column, along with the shift lever and column support where another grey color all together. I have been slowly restoring my '50 Chev Sedan and have matched the colors using a "tweeked" Honda color [Eucalyptus Green G-83P-3] for the darker grey and a "tweeked" Volkswagon color [LG1K] for the lower dash color. Not sure anymore of the years that those colors were used...and again...they were altered somewhat. They may give you a starting point anyway. I used a Sikkens color map to duplicate the column color.

There are several bits of info at this search result
http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/dosearch.php?

Those ar the colors. I will have to makenote of that.
Thd edash and garnish mouldings were done in lacquer and were very metalc. The steering column and shift ;ever were done in enamel and had little or no metallic. Due to that the color was slightly different. The outer color on the horn button is a good sample although it is not metallic and sealed under the lucite.

went to my paint guy (PPG) with a rear ashtray had sanded with 1000 and buffed out.he took a pic of it and ran it,came out with a paint code,today am taking a cleaned up glove box door to also get a pic of it.we will be mixing both today,hopefully we will come up with something really close to stock color we are looking for .if all goes well will be sharing the possibly new found codes with our club,am really hoping that this could be the end of the search for the proper paints

thanks to all on their help andy

In the early 80's I had the light gray, lower dash paint matched when I was restoring my 50 convertible. I still have the can with the left over paint. It says Dupont, 34855L, (lacquer), and was a Toyota color at the time. I believe it was a very very close match. It was not metallic on the convertible.

i am pretty sure i have the correct paint formulas for a 50 dash,took my rear armrest and glove box door to PPG they shot a pic of both they came up with codes for the colors. we dabbed a spot on both the parts let it dry and they were both pretty close to dead on.am going to paint the top part of dash tuesday. will let all know how it comes out it is not a honda nor volkswagen color as previous post has listed.i have the formulas for both.the colors are = OEM CODE 930404 MERCEDES STEINGRAU FOR THE GRAY (added black after intial mix)AND OEM CODE 919826 KIA TEAL GREEN,NEW GREEN FOR THE DASH NO MODEL YEARS ON EITHER PAINTS =but as from experience not all paint suppliers sometime mix paint the same way.if anybody is interested in a copy of the way it was exactly mixed for me send me a SASE will wait for responses before putting address in post

Note that the steering column, shift lever, back of miror, and ash trays are painted in a non-metalic enamel and are not an exact match for the metallic lacquer used on top of the dash and garnish mouldings. The difference is quite obvious on my original 1950.

WENT BACK TO MY PAINT GUY TOOK ANOTHER SPECTROMETER PIC AND THE DELUXE REAR ASHTRAY THAT CAME WITH MY I BELEIVE STOCK VEHICLE DOES INDEED HAVE METALLIC IN IT,IF I HAVE HIT ON THE PROPER COLOR FOR THE DASH IT WOULD BE GREAT FIND FOR ALL OF US I HAVE PUT A LOT OF TIME IN RESEARCHING THIS COLOR EVEN THOUGH THE COLOR NAME SAYS NOTHING ABOUT METALLIC THE PAINT DOES HAVE METALLIC IN IT,THATS THE END OF THIS TOPIC FOR ME IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE THIS PAINT FORMULA FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. ANDY

Good job, Andy!
