Color match 63w Dark Saddle interior paint
I am going to paint my dash back to its original color. The guy I bought the car from replaced the pad with one thats in great shape but went with black over blue. I was going to get it redone but Just dash is way to pricey. So for now its paint. I have a few plastic pieces that need done too. What I am after s anyone who painted with Dark Buckskin and what they found to be the best match. I see some stuff out there but the colors vary so much.
Here is waht I’d like to get in the ball park with -

Re: Color match 63w Dark Saddle interior paint
Buckskin/Saddle interiors are difficult to match with off-the-shelf rattle cans due to sun fade. This past summer I bought a can of SEM 15033 Saddle Tan to match a piece of Dark Saddle trim and, in my eyes, it just wasn't close enough for it to not be noticeable against the other plastic trims. However, if you were to paint all the interior plastic, I think it would be close enough to what you're looking for.

Thanks, I just received lower door panels from Eklers - the color was “camel” and it was sorta close, however they were damaged so they’re in RMA hell right now. I will definitely paint it all so I should be okay with whatever the shade is..

I had also bought some SEM 15173 Camel...but, it's got too much of an orange tint to it. I actually tried combining the two colors by over-spraying them together and achieved satisfactory success when trying to match some interior in my Ford Explorer.

Thanks for the update, Definitely not happy with Eklers customer service. They wanted pictures of the damage and gave me an email address to send them to. I sent them and heard nothing. Called them spoke to “Tony” who said “Katie” will contact you... that was Friday morning. Still haven’t heard a thing - kinda wondering why they haven’t sent a label and RMA ID... color match to come. Getting ready to put it back together. In the middle of converting the mirrors to power.

I am redoing my interior (not worrying about GM period exactitude since they didn't) and felt the same way about Camel. I am using Palomino as a contrasting color to my Sem Bluebird Brown and Saddle Tan dash and trim colors. It has a browner tint than Camel.
