upper dash paint code?
 

Hello I have a 77’ TA originally starlight black with a black interior and was wondering if anyone knows what paint is used for the upper dash i front of the vinyl dash under the windshield. I am looking to paint the firewall as well so any tips on how to get paint mixed would help for the dash top.

The interior paint code is listed here. The original was a lacquer base. Might have a hard time finding it now.

The key detail being that it was flat finish.

Good chart, I have a few others probably to suit 78. Don't think I had that one.

that’s awesome thanks! Any advice on painting the firewall and cowl? or is it all the same color?

Firewall was the same flat/satin GM chassis black as other engine bay areas. It varied a little in sheen based on the mix and how thickly applied. The interior colour was sprayed out to cover the windscreen channel area, and often showed outside the car on brighter colours. Black wouldn't show the overspray much.

Note this '77 with Firethorn interior. See how the interior dash paint overlaps into the cowl area. This is a very low mile unrestored car.

I chose Summit brand single-stage urethane matte black. Here's how it turned out:
