Does anyone know what paint or color is used on 68-69 Torino lower dash panels? Mine is the original red, but not the candy apple body color red. It's like a metallic dusty rose color unlike anything else on the car.

There doesn't seem to be a color code for this from what I can see. It's not going to be the vinyl color, so I'm stumped.

1968 interior trim codes on door tag usually matched the rest of the interior except for combination groups with white seats. 1968 torino trim colors RED-7D with bench/cimarron cloth, or bench with bangor cloth. 1968 torino gt trim colors RED-6D bench/kiwi vinyl with buckets/kiwi vinyl code 8D,8DA interior trim colors for 1968 were black, blue,red,gold,agua,white 1968 EXTERIOR COLOR CODES- 2 TAHITIAN ROSE OR CODE B ROYAL MAROON.

My paint code is T, which is Candyapple Red I believe. So does this mean the lower dash paint is the same used on body? The trim code is 8D. She's red on red. Red is freaking everywhere - dash, seats, carpet. I'm curious if the lower dash was ever repainted, although I'm 99% sure it's not.

thx!

Grand Torino 64 elite has a dark red color called a M2 1 originally to match the shag carpet, seat belts, dash. With almost a cream white Upholdstrey an seats. Not to sure about the rims though.

Back in the late 70s I worked in a body shop and we always used the body color and added a flattening agent to the paint for the interior spray.
