jasen, steering wheel looks good. check with your local body shop supply they usually have a old paint chip chart for interior and exterior. i was there yesterday picking up some stuff and found my match for the sterling color. if you need the dupont formula code, i can go there and get it for you. they will mix it for you.

Painters Supply where I go to get all my supplies, they are a PPG dealer and are about 5 minutes from me. The thing is there are many shades of red inside the car. I think the kick panels match the wheel. Every color of F85 wheel Ive seen is a shade different from the column.

The shift ball came in today, one piece black ball just like the original. Only a little bigger. The stock ball is way too small on these cars.

Yep, sounds like an Olds 400. Too cool.

PPG no longer can get a formula for the gloss red I need. So I they eyeballed it based on my sample piece. Figured that steering column piece has the truest color because of its location.....and it was the only piece I could take to the paint store.

Jason, that looks pretty good. Be interested to see how close once it dries. Wet it looks spot on. Whats the formula?
