‘64 Impala package shelf color

[NOBLNG]

I am doing a ‘64 Impala. The body will be dark blue with a grey roof. The interior will be lighter blue carpet on the floor and lower door panels. The seats will be white. I believe the dash (non-padded) will be body color. What color should the rear package shelf be? I’m thinking same as the carpet?  I’ve tried to find pics or info on chevy forums, but info is minimal. Thanks, Greg.

Thanks Rick. I found the colors, but are those supposed to match the carpet color, seat color, or body color?

They're usually the same color as the carpet.

It would match the interiors main color (carpet ect...).

One thing to remember no matter what color you are using is the finish on the Dash and rear Package Tray. These would be a nonglare finish or something very close to a flat finish in OEM anyway. The reason is to reduce glare from the sun. If you have ever driven a car or even a pickup on a sunny day you can see the suns reflection in the windshield and the rear window. In order to minimize this the OEM would have a flat finish on these areas. Think of a car or truck that you have used Armoral on the dash you'll know what I'm talking about.

I had some TS-58 light blue pearl left over that was about the color I wanted (not factory) that I already covered with flat clear. I intend to paint the dash body color, but had not thought of flattening it. Good tip,Thanks.
