mp65riv Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I'm looking for paint to refinish my center console and front door armrests (custom interior) for a 65 Riv. My interior is dark green. Anyone have ideas as to where I can locate such paint? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Mckenzie Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Perhaps you could take the fuse cover panel ( if it`s the same color as the console) to your local auto body paint supplier. they might have the codes and could mix you up a spray bomb. Also look at Duplicolor Paints for a close match. best of luck, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTX-SLPR Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 If you're willing to go through the hassle, find a dark green you like in someone's plastic paint catalog and then paint everything that color. With black I think this would be easy but with dark green I'd want to try it out so it'd match the various vinyl parts like the door panel upholstery.

RivNut Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Your local automotive paint jibber can match anything you take into him. If you're trying to match both hard and soft surfaces, take an example of each. Tell him that one of the colors is for vinyl. If he doesn't have dyes, he can add a flex agent to the paint. Before dyeing any vinyl, read up on prepping the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafoam65 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I needed to touch up a few chips in my interior paint mainly on the console on my 65 dark green interior and I drove the car down to my local paint jobber and he put his scanner on the paint on the console and his device spit out the formula for the paint. It is a perfect match and the touch ups are completely undetectable. I had him make it semi-gloss and it came out perfect. Like you I have the code 620 dark green custom vinyl interior. Here is the console and dash after touching it up with a small artist's brush..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mp65riv Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 Wow, Seafoam's touched up console looks great. I will seek out a paint jobber and see what they can do. Thanks much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Valspar makes a really nice satin black polyurethane that I have have been using for chassis, underhood areas, and inner fenders for years. You may be able to find something in green. Loews stores sell it in my area. If I do some interior painting on my next Riviera redo I would probably try satin Valspar first.
