Glove box paint color??

You guys know of a color that is close to the original? I guess I'm looking for something in a can just hate to buy a quart for two small spots in the van.

You mention buying a quart,, If you have a paint code and brand your sticking with they can make up a batch of spray cans for you, They are awfully handy to have for touch ups and any small add ons or changes you might make as you go, it might depend on what kind of paint you are using but I had it done with the enamel and it works out pretty good.

I'd love to discover the paint code for the original fawn interior color

I like that fawn interior color too. Whenever I see it I'm reminded of my first Chevy van. It is a hard color to describe.

But, back to the topic of glove boxes, mine is silver. Mine is the Sportvan Deluxe, so the interior is turquoise, to match the outside. The whole van is still the original paint, so I'm pretty sure the glove box is too. Its trim and the center part are the same silver as the trim around the instrument cluster.

There is one other color in the interior: the dark gray steering column. (Just the skinny part of it, not the upper parts.) That little dash piece that holds the heater fan switch is also that color. I think this was the case on all models of first gens.

VH,you ever look at Eastwoods interior colors? They gots a variety of them in original colors.Might be a tad pricey though.Even in rattle cans.Dunno how much your lookin to spend for that orig paint/luster bud.Don't hurt to look at online catalog.

Yeah I have been going through the Napa paint isle trying to find something close. That's probably as far as I will go they have some GM matches.

I think it's real close..

This is mine, done by the previous owner.

Sweet!!

Very Cool!!!! Bendone...

Here's what my original paint glove box looks like.



I've painted a few murals in my day and I always wanted to paint a little one on the glovebox of my first van. Maybe this time I will!

Here's how the steering column looks. That ring beneath the steering wheel is white to match the two tone paint job. I've seen this on two other Sportvan Deluxes. And you can't see it here but two of the four "segments" of the steering wheel are also painted white.

I painted the bezel of my speedo cluster a silver with a clear coat on top. Looks pretty good and I took a fine magic marker and blackened the indented letters. Not a restoration thing yet it does look much better. Turned out so good I think I'll paint the glove box door the same. Just an idea if you can't find a paint code. Good luck.

Yeah that was the finished painted pic. I used a silver as a back coat then I used a gm color as an overlay. Came out close.
