Where to find YELLOW seatback and headrest??

ttwo · Dec 6, 2014

I've been fixing up my interior and my seatbacks are yellow and have cracks where they screw to the seat and would like to just get new ones. I also have one headrest that is cracked and would like to replace it BUT NO ONE HAS YELLOW for sale. Do I assume that I have to buy black or white ones and paint them? Anyone have experience with finding yellow interior pieces? I cannot even find the 'color code' for yellow interior. Is it simply the same as the exterior (which is Daytona yellow)?

Your signature doesn't have any details to go on. What year?

sorry. 1969 SS with yellow deluxe hounds tooth interior.

They show up on ebay every so often as well as Heartbeat city. You might put a wanted ad on our classifieds and see if someone has a decent set, if not yes buy a set of white and have an upholsterer dye the headrests and backs, paint will always scratch or peel unless it is bounded. http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/chipdisplay.cgi?year=1969&manuf=GM&smodel=Chevrolet&info=&page=19 Will give you the codes

thanks for the reference! Curious that Daytona yellow is not in there at all?

Sure it is. I sent you the link to the style group for 69, you have to hit each series to find the full chips for a particular paint manufacture etc. By color here is yellows incuding 69 Daytona

No problems

I found yellow spray can for interior at classic industries. Any idea how much it would take to cover a seatback x 2? I see that my current ones are black (inside) and must be painted yellow. Any idea if there would be an advatage white vs black with yellow dye?

Most spray cans have a coverage listed on them in sq ft. But that only helps so much, i would imagine you could get through it on 1 can.

I would say plan on at least one can per item if you intend to do four or five light coat layers with no primer. Better safe then sorry IMHO. I used a spray dye many years ago and wasn't satisfied with the texture of the final coat, and worse I found within batches the color varied can to can. We finally got it done by using two cans and making sure the top layer came from the same can. I would hope the technology has progressed. Someone posted a while back on the Krylon Fusion paint line for plastics for interior plastic. "Sunbeam" looks close to Daytona Yellow.

any comment on spraying over black VS white seat backs? I would think white would be better but my current ones are black under the scratches

69-Pace · Dec 9, 2014

Well generally you want to spray light over light, dark over dark primers.

ttwo · Dec 10, 2014

do you think the krylon would be any better or worse than the $29 stuff from classic industries?

68SSlemans · Dec 10, 2014

If you want the correct color go with the classic industries stuff. Also very important to wash the panels very thoroughly with Dawn soap and a brush. Then you must apply the special plastic adesion promoter (plastic primer) before spraying your yellow.

ttwo · Dec 10, 2014

so maybe use the $6 krylon for the first 2 layers over the plastic primer and then the final 2 coats with the classic industry stuff to color match best? I can't imagine there is any real difference in quality outside of the color itself...right!

(I'm trying to convince myself)
