Mizozuman2 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hey everyone, I'm curious on what color paint to use for a "leather"-ish look on the interior of a '65 Galaxie 500 XL. It's not really a "seat bolster" since it's not bolstering anything, but that's the area I'm talking about. (The darker of the two colors on the seat). I was thinking it was a beige color. Just thought I'd ask for everyone's opinion on here. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jas1957 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Check Testors or Humbrol military colors they have several light brown/tan colors. Don't know if it is still made but Humbrol had an Unbleached Linen color that was close to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PappyD340 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Testors has a color called Fabric Tan, I just bought a can yesterday, and they also have several shades of tans and other light brown colors in the military paints like John said, Rustoleum has a couple colors one is gloss sand the other is semi-gloss nutmeg you just have to dullcoat the sand color.

johnbuzzed Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Tamiya also has a good selection of colors (in bottles). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Try 'Almond' which is an appliance color. They all make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
