TheSamba.com :: View topic - 1954' Interior color (gear shift, seat frame, ...)

I have imported from the US in Switzerland a 54' Oval. The car is actually brown, but at the origin, it was light beige.

Here some pics:

The color of the seats:

At your mind, which color should I paint the gear shift, brake lever, seat frame and steering column tube? I would paint it with an original color (as we can find on wolfsburgwest.com for example).

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Looks like Streifenbraun..

Same seat, just different lighting...

Thanks for the answer.
But It was not my question... Sorry for my poor English.

A quick search through the gallery for 1954 interior photos seems to show that seat frame and gear shift and emergency brake to be a beige similar to the steering wheel.

It was just an observation of your interior.. My bad.. My seat frames are all powder coated Ivory.. Not original.. The original color was Lt. Beige.. That was for the seat frames, and shifter, e-Brake etc..

I painted everything L275 Grau Beige (Spies Hecker) after matching with the original paint.
Perfect match!

I've painted mine in L75.
Bought paint from glasurit

The color should be L75 Light Beige for interior items asked about. Glasurit has a good match for that color.
