Without an original paint part to compare, you'll never really know...
Using photos isn't really going to tell you because of lighting and camera variables.
Get an OE paint Sea Sand dash part and check it out!
Looks like it's going to be a really nice car when you're done. |
This - even though it does not look sea sand to me. Sea Sand has a definite gray element added to a tan base - your paint looks more tan.

I wouldn't worry too much about the exact tint of beige . I have an original Savannah type 3 1969, and have removed a few items that have been covered since new. Meaning they never saw the light of day . Even though my paint is in very good condition it has darkened slightly .
When it comes to beige it is like a chameleon it changes greatly depending on the light .
Your paint job looks great ! as long as its close to the interior I would be happy with it and get it on the road
Just tell people its SEA Sand they won't know the difference . |
