  • Dashboard colors

    Would anyone know the official name for the dashboard color on a 52 Land Cruiser? I know it's gray but what gray. I'm rewiring the dash and I'm going to detail it while it's apart.

    Looks perfect from here, I would not try to repaint it.
    Some were Grenge (Gray/Tan) others were Gray, the lighting and quality of the Pic is not good enough to tell.

    All you can really do with Todays different Paint Bases/Formulas, is Color match up a unfaded area at a Auto Paint Store or Body Shop as pretty much nothing else actually works.

    Your Door Window Frames should be the Same Color, but will be faded some amount.

      What Rich said; there was no (known) paint code, just a gray tone that they used that year. 51's had a brownish/tan that was used on all interior parts, again, no formula.

        Thanks guys, and I'm going to redo all the interior metal.

          I agree with Rich, that it looks nice enough to leave it.
          I only need to repaint my ash tray, due to scratches, on my 1950 Champion, so I drove the car to the paint store, and his magic paint gun couldn't give a useable reading.
