Does anyone have the paint formula for the 69 Parchment interior, I know there are companies that sell it but I need it this weekend so ordering it is out of the question, Thanks, DuPont would be great

anyone ?

Are you meaning the vinyl dye? Nothing was painted parchment. The metal dask, steering column etc were painted black.

Yes the dye, I have to paint my armrest and pads, and some other vinyl pieces

There were a few things painted Parchment, the metal headliner side trim pieces and metal (on some cars) A pillar covers. Those items are painted on mine. As far as a dye formula you could find a local paint supplier that mixes dye and take a Parchment piece for them to scan and (attempt to) match with dye.

I have tried that. the problem is that the scanner does not do pearl colors very well

Or you can give them the PPG/Ditzler Parchment Interior Color Code 22841 and have it mixed from that, right? You can have it mixed in DIU or DBI. I would suggest an adhesion promotor. All these colors codes are available gentlemen. We used to have "books" with them at the shop. Now all this info is on the internet. I've painted a lot of plastics over the years and if done correctly durability and longevity are sound. It's all in the tech sheets and all those are available too. Read them.

Has anyone used this formula and if so how good of a match was it, Thanks

The code is the one that is assigned to the paint in 1969. Just like code 72/Hugger Orange is PPG Code 2084 and so on... The tints are pulled from the system using that formula using today's paints. Some are a direct mix, some are a variance, an offset if you will. I have all my paint mixed. The vendors still sell them in aerosol as well but I don't know how accurate the mix is.

 

[n269chvy]

Thanks, I will try that

Well I think we have a match, I kept the formula for it, we had to do a base and then gold pearl, it looks very good in the sun as well.
