Smile 1965 GMC Interior color- fawn? paint i.d or?

Hey guys, most of the time I'm over on the 67-'72 zone but I have a '66 Chevy that I am working on as well...and I have a buddy who just got a '65 GMC.

So I have a question that hopefully someone can help me out with:
Does anyone know the paint color for the fawn interior on these trucks?
Ideally a modern base/clear identification....or any ideas on this?

My buddy is going to redo his and is trying to figure this out and I will be redoing mine at some point as well so its always good to check with the experts!

Here is a quick pic of my '66...it needs a few things but it is a good truck to start with.
As you can see the original owner took it upon himself to pain the interior some sort of poor quality light brown/saddle colour...with a bad spray bomb, so that has to go, lol.

Many Thanks!
Coley

Re: 1965 GMC Interior color- fawn? paint i.d or?

here's a couple of older threads with a lot of info on the subject..

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=534374

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=471383

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=327764

if you have one of these on the driver's kicks panel, might lead to the oe paint code..

good luck!

'65 C20 turquoise over fawn [only interior color option from what I have read]



here's about the best shot I have of the least faded parts of the exterior [door jamb] and the interior..



this area covered by the seat back had me puzzled, 50 years of sunlight or part of the interior that wasn't sprayed??

Here is a company that has the name Fawn Metallic. Don't know how close or if it even is to the original.https://www.shop.thecoatingstore.com...345-BCCKIT.htm

From a '64 GMC book. The descriptive name kept changing from year to year '62-'66, but same color. Metallic Fawn, Medium Fawn to Medium Fawn Metallic by '65 and '66.

Don't forget 66 has the darker dash krinkle finish too
Also, I seem to remember Krylon Champagne Nouveau as a fairly close match for the rest of the interior.

The best modern match is 2003 Nissan Sunlit Sand code EVO. I used it in this '65 C10.
