<VV> Interior (dash) paint codes for 1965?

[James Davis]

I use half flatter and half  Imron 50 on my Corsa convert dash 20 years ago 
and it is still holding up. Be advised there is Imron 30, Imron 50 , Imron 
5000, and Imron 6000.   Imron 50 is available in any color that you can 
find a mixing code for.  DuPont micro files list the codes for almost every 
car, tractor or truck color.  Your jobber just has to ask the division 
office for the mix codes if the does not have them in stock.
