Paul Falabella Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 The dash on my Roadmaster has been resprayed. Seems there were three greens available in 55. Briar green closely matches the dark green, Skylark the lighter. I have never seen a two-tone like mine. Overspray is evident around the vent/heater sliders and other areas. I have seen the two-tone with white lower and different upper but not two greens. Would like to return to original. Interior code is 473. Any ideas?Thanks.

bhambulldog Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 You're right in your thinking. There should only be one color green on the lower dash. Here's a link to my "photobucket" album of interior trim and paint colors.I hope this helps;http://s953.photobucket.com/user/bhambulldog/library/1955%20Buick%20Paint%20Interior%20Trim%20choices?sort=3&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Falabella Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Thanks James. That is a great reference item but it doesn't deal with the painted metal colors. The only reference I have found is the Ditzler chart. I have asked around and apparently code 473 wasn't a big seller. I am certain the lower part should be the lighter green.Whoever did it didn't want to deal with the lettering and radio grill. I just don't know about the upper dash and garnish.1953 Pinehurst Green looks close as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
