Console Paint Recommendations
« on: January 13, 2025, 09:58:53 PM »
I’m getting ready to paint the console in my 69. (Black). Can I get some recommendations as to the correct paint and what brand? I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Rick

Consoles were molded in black plastic. Only the lid and ash tray cover were painted.

Green, blue and red consoles were painted to match.
Learning more and more about less and less...

I recently sold an original 68-69 console and the plastic was ivory, not molded in black.

I think William is stating "Black" interiors; have consoles Body upper and lower are Molded in Black Plastic & the Lid and Tray lid are painted Black.

Interiors 'other' than black have Ivory consoles color painted to match Interior color.

I know what William was saying. The consoles I sold were not repro and were ivory painted black. Over 30 years in storage. I paint for a living and they were not black painted over another color.

I've had one of those white consoles painted black - I did not see any evidence if it was an original or a service item or late production....
