Glovebox & ashtray door color?
« on: January 06, 2007 - 11:16:15 AM »
Did a quick search but didn't find anything. What's the factory color for glovebox & ashtray doors? Is it gloss or semigloss black or something?

Have a look at this page: 

http://www.pantherpink.com/charts.htm

(I hope the owner of that site doesn't mind me providing the link).  You don't mention what type/year of car you have, but that website contains several years and models.

Example: My car is a 1970 Dodge Challenger.  If you click on the "1970 Dodge PPG Ditzler", page 2, you can see that the ashtray door and glovebox door are code 9324 (Jewel Black).

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys! My car is non ralley 73 challenger. Gotta go and visit the local paint dealer.

From the pic it looks like the partsof the dash frame which aren't covered with plastic&cap are different shade of black? Area between glovebox and ashtray for example.

The paint is the same, any differences you see would be due to reflection of light from differeent angles.
   On my '73 all paint on metal in the dash area including the steering column is the same.
