47-59 Cameo interior colors - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone figured out the color codes for the Cameo interior.
We are redoing a 58 and the color names on the interior are charcoal grey and concord grey metallic. I paint in Dupont Nason single stage enamel and can't find in mixing codes in all my searches.

Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Do these colors look at all like these '58 Cameo colors? If so, I believe the upper dash color matches my '57.

I have three colors listed for my interior but only one dark gray:Volkswagen MittelGrau L72R. We were using Standox back then and they had some really good coverage for European vehicles. The closest thing I can find to a paint chip tonight is the color dot here: https://www.tristarcolor.com/autolac...ten-spruehdose

I have been told Standox is owned by Dupont and here in America. They don't seem to have a major presence here. They do have a historical color library available online which contains hundreds of not thousands of Dupont color chips but they are accessed by carmaker then by year. Their database does not return a colorchip for Mittelgrau.

Standox is based in Germany. You can access their Color Search online. The search confirms VW used L72R Globally as an exterior color, and they indicate the information was added in 1982. Maybe someone can help create a Dupont formula from Standox?

If you have a shop or know of anyone who has access to My Standox or the World Color Guide you may be able to find paint chips to do your own comparison. The Standox product went down nicely. All of the interior of my truck is single stage and it's help up very well since 1997.

I can try to grab a picture of my dash in the daylight.

I thought Cameo's got custom interior paint that regular trucks did not?

No info on paint codes in or out on the GM heritage center 58 Truck pfd.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. We are trying to buy an original visor bracket with the silver color intact and the visor material seems to be just like the dark grey of the dash top. My thinking is get the upholstery first then get the 2 silvers to compliment or match the upholstery.

Again Thanks!
