First Generation Firebird
Posted By: wbehning Correct Dash Color Code - 02/24/21 03:53 PM
For a 1968 Firebird 400 Convertible, Solar Red.

The dashpad, pillars, and visors are what I could call Burgundy. Anyone know what correct interior color name or code for this?

Unfortunately the dash is in rough shape, brittle as an egg, and needs to be restored and can't afford JustDashes at the moment.

If I go the repo route, the Red color is incorrect for my car.

Looking for some options.

Thanks...

'68 did not offer burgundy. So it is either red, or someone painted it.
Red cars generally came with either red, black, or white interiors.
PHS will tell you what colors came on your car from the factory.

My '68 Solar Red convert with code 258 has multiple red shades and gloss levels. The dash pad, upper dash, door lock pulls, dash assist handle, visors, etc. is a burgundy. I have attached a couple color charts with paint codes, one from the Pontiac parts illustrations book and one from a PPG color chart.
