What's the difference between interior and exterior "Seafoam Green" paint?

    Dear V-8 Buick automobile interior decorators,

    As the saga of the trusty 1965 Buick Special wagon continues . . . . All the drivetrain modifications are starting to spill over into the interior. Since I've decided to go with underdash vents for the Vintage Air system, it would certainly be nice to paint them the same color as the surrounding dashboard. So the question is: what color was the dashboard painted?

    I checked of the builders plate and as best as I can decode it, it appears the dashboard is the same color as the exterior of the car: Seafoam Green. As a check, I took a photo showing the end of the dashboard with a bit of the newly painted exterior also visible. Taking into account some fading and some distortion because of the camera flash, the two colors look the same:

    Do my eye at least, the match is even better than the picture captures.

    However, even if the color looks the same, the don't seem to have the same finish. Obviously the exterior looks much more glossy as the car has been freshly waxed. However, I can't be sure if the paint doesn't have other differences. It could be just exposure to 47 years of the world or perhaps something different in the paint formulations. Perhaps for example the interior paint was just semi-gloss while obviously the exterior was full gloss.

    Does anybody know if back in 1965 if the interior paints where the same as the exterior paints for a given color? If they aren't, how can get an interior version of Seafoam Green to match what's in the car?

    Thanks in advance for all the helpful hints to be found here!! :TU:

    Cheers, Edouard :beer

    Bingo!! Da' Answer!! (Re: difference between interior and exterior "Seafoam Green")

    Dear Jim and V-8 Buick interior decorators,

    Bingo!! Thanks so much!! :TU:

    I searched through threads on this topic and got to the tcpglobal.com site, but I couldn't figure out how to pull up the interior paint chips. So thanks for zeroing in on the exact info for me!

    That's what makes V-8 Buick simply . . . . indispensable!!

    Cheers, Edouard :beer
