Hehe ... I'm the only one reading my thread

Well ... that last attempt was wrong too .. way too Green.

My last try ... ordered some Dark Ivy Gold Metallic .... says it's another 68 Firebird color, swatch looks close on screen ... since my interior is Ivy Gold and the dash pad is the darkest color in the interior ... maybe it will be right. Otherwise I'm going with standard Ivy Gold, would look nice, but wouldn't be right.

Interesting dilemma, I'm curious how many 68 trim codes had a dash pad that was a different color than the door panels, seats, console ... well, everything else in the interior. What were the dash pads on white and parchment interiors .. black? I have a feeling the dash pad is darker because Ivy Gold is pretty light colored and shiny, would almost surely cause reflection problems from the pad. Could be why it's so hard to find, if the only place it was used was on Ivy Gold 68's, on one component, there wouldn't be much demand for it.

OG68 was nice enough to look up the dash pad in the MPC .. it shows only six dash pad colors used in 68 on Tempests ... the only one that would be remotely close was called "gold".
