rocketraider Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 GM got into this "paint-to-match" thing in the mid 80s. Was cheaper for them to make the plastic replacement service parts in one color (usually gray or black) and let the service end worry about getting it the right color. I bought a 1984 TransAM new that got a nasty scratch on its console, and it was black underneath the medium blue color. Being as the car was only a couple months old, I wanted it right, and went thru all kinds of mess because the selling dealer kept trying to touch it up with a brush and the color was always a shade or two off- enough to be quite noticeable and irritating. Finally had them pull the console out out the car and do an allover respray. And it turned out to be all for naught. About 2 weeks after the console was painted, a 75 Electra ran a redlight and took it out. Totalled with 6200 miles on it. And I haven't owned a "new" car since.
