I am currently verifying the paint details before sending my 67 bus off to paint. At this point, I have decided on the Titian Red and Beige Grey but have found the Beige grey a little to dark based on the formula that was mixed and have decided on a slightly lighter version.

I have reviewed various websites (thesamba, WW) and have not found any reference to the interior colors for the dash and any exposed metal areas like the head light cans etc. Would any members have any directions as to what colors should be used. With thanks

on two tone buses inside colors are the same as outside colors.

on the later buses like yours, the dash is the same color as the upper, beige grey in your case.

Headlight bucket wear shows how the factory painted the cab red, then BG. The white on top of the BG is a PO paint.
