Right color for center console

Post by salieri124 »

Does anyone knows the best matching color for beige interior on 79 Spider 2000? Is there color code?
I'll try to restore and respray center console. I've read someone mentioning that Palomino is good color match but for 77 Spider.

Thanks

77 spiders only came with black consoles, not that you cannot color yours :)

I have a tan 79 interior, however when all the customization is done I am changing it to all black because it is so difficult to match "tan" as they used numerous shades even with in the same years. You could take a sample to a paint store and have it color matched by the computer.

I used SEM paint buckskin color for the tan interior. Here's the thread.

SEM `light buckskin`. Code 15093. This is the one you need, it`s as near as dammit to the original.
My two cents ain't worth what it used to be
