Interior paints, I now have them...... ALL

[HK1837]

I had some real good luck today while trying to get Portland Grey paint for the GTS dash fascia's.

Not only did I get some from a paint supplier just up the road from me..... they also put it in spray cans for me.......



The owner has a really nice custom FJ ute as his shop car and the girl who did the paint for me owns a 1944 Ford GPW jeep...... they are passionate about restoring cars so really went all out to help me once they found out what I was doing and our common interest in ww2 jeeps.....

The best part is after some searching.... they can supply me with just about every interior Holden paint colour and put it in spray cans......

We found all the Sandman colours, Tan, Buckskin, Covert, Gazelle, Black, Chestnut etc. all in the correct med gloss acrylic.

Couldn't find Chamois but they said they will have it for me by Monday....

Byron.... if you can find a good crashpad you can paint it Covert for your HJ Premier......

I'll go looking for HJ-HX Premier or Deville pad. Problem is you won't find a better car than mine, then it has to be wrecked to get the pad. And mine is cracked! So it'd have to be a damn good car to not have a cracked one. I have heaps of good ones but none are what I need!

You can always use a Holden or Kingswood crashpad and fit the Premier infill from your old crashpad on the better one..... if HJ it would need to be a forced air crashpad but HX and early HZ would suit..

I'll look at what I have. There is a whole pallet rack bay of console and crashpads - i'll haveto climb up and see what is up there.

I went back to the paint shop today and got some Covert paint and while chatting to Bill the owner he showed me a water based paint he has for doing vinyl/leather seats and carpet/velour....

I have to say the painted velour and carpet he had was brilliant, it didn't feel painted at all. You have to do a bit of prep work, cleaning the carpet well, spraying a prep solution and then the paint but it will be excellent stuff for those with unobtainable carpet colours like Covert, Sienna ect.

Buy some new moulded carpet in a light colour and paint it to suit your trim. If you give him a sample of your old carpet from under a panel he will colour match it for you....
