Title: FE Interior paint
Post by: Geoff C on January 13, 2022, 01:52:10 PM
Years Back, I had a Black FE Holden with red trim, and the dash and from memory around some of the doors it was painted a silver colour,
I believe the colour to be "Pewter Grey"
 I sold the car in Tasmania in the early 90's, and regretted it ever since, being unable to ever find it again, I have now bought another Black FE again with Red Trim, but the dash is painted black, and I would like to paint it silver as per my original car,
Does anyone have any images of where the Black cars were painted silver inside, apart from the dash ?

I don't sorry, but I know black FBs and EKs had the same treatment, including the door tops.

I've just taken a look at my black FC 215.  The areas painted silver are -

Doors, inside, all the way around.
Dash including instrument panel and glove box lid, but not the top, which is clinker grey.
B-pillars, inside, top to bottom.
Front door opening at cowl, from scuff plate to level with the dash seam on the passenger's side, and level with the dash top on the driver's side.  Looks like it was left to the guys on the paint line to choose.
Rear door opening at B-pillar, from scuff plate up to the waistline, and out to the door rubber channel.

Black specials seem to be more restrained
