Sorry to say I do not have the Ford club book that might tell me this information. What would the correct color be for a 1936 standard coupe dash? Does anyone sell a spray can of that? Or perhaps someone on the forum may have a formula so that I could get a small amount mixed from my paint supplier?

Thanks for any assistance!

According to the 1935-36 Ford Book, page 37 & 38 the Standard 36 dash color was Benton Gray Metallic. In May of 1936 the standard car instrument panels were mahogany grained and the deluxe cars were straight grained walnut.

I have only been able to find the old Dupont paint codes folks have been kind enough to post here and there. No one that I have found has access to cross this since Dupont hasn't made auto paint in 15 + years. Anyone out there have a modern paint code and what's the gloss level supposed to be? Unfortunately, I don't have any original painted dash pieces available to me that would help answer these questions. Thanks! Even a color photo in natural light of a 35/36 dash would be helpful.
