Rattle cans of interior door gloss black: available or custom aerosol can company?

[Miranthis]

My 66 barracuda has the black interior, so Ditzler PPG paint code 9000 black in gloss for the door tops. the steering column is the same, at least what was left of the paint (see pic) It is nearly stripped and rust dissolved with Evaporust, so time to paint it and reassemble.
Two questions:
1) primer? maybe a rust converting one or a metal etching one, but clearly a spray as its is a smooth and glossy finish. If so, is ther ea color preference for the primer, as the final coat will not be a heavy coat it seems.
2) are rattle cans of the correct interior gloss black paint available? I have searched the 'net, but am not finding anything that confirms the paint code on the "black" spray cans is the right one. If its not available off the shelf form the usual supects, can I order 'custom color' spray cans by code and if so, where? Another rabbit hole that i went down that did not find anything of use, so i must be doing the searches with the wrong phrases...

Thanks in advance

I've used Herb's interior paint, both gloss & satin colors & have been very happy with the outcome. It's been 3 years & still looks great. I did not prime anything but prepping the pieces well is a must.

The interior paint on Herb's site says its a penetrating dye and for plastic, ABS, vinyl etc., is that right for door panels and interior? I also don't see a sheen noted and the black on the dash is textured and the black on the upper doors and the column is gloss... color me confused ..... or should I just order the exterior paint?

Paint finish info is in your factory service manual.

You're correct. I remember now using a shop down the road that made the paint for the tops & bottoms of the inside door panels that were a shiny Burnt Orange but, it was in a spray can. It was a 70 Road Runner, but the steering column was a factory satin/flat Burnt Orange. I did not paint that. I did use Herbs paint on the arm rests & other small vinyl pieces that came out great. Any good rattle can gloss black should work on the doors, but your column looks like it's a satin type of paint too, like mine was. Sorry, I pulled a Tom Brokaw and mis-remembered.

One of the "old rules" of paint is that there are a hundred thousand shades of white, but black is black.

You'll notice that the PPG code is a nice even number: 9000. That's because it's just black.

The only thing that can vary is the gloss level, and, as far as I know, plain old 9000 is simple gloss black.

Chrysler painted a lot of interior parts gloss black before all of the safety changes of the late '60s and early '70s came in, which included fewer shiny surfaces to reflect glare. Later cars would have interior finishes that were at least somewhat matte, but not '66, except possibly the inset in the top surface of the dashboard. I also seem to recall that my '67 Valiant with the red interior had a fairly low-gloss paint on the steering column.

You are having trouble finding special interior black because there is not special interior black for those parts. It's just black. Or, possibly, a less-glossy black, depending on the exact surface.

Just buy the good-quality black paint of your choice in the gloss level that looks like an unmolested portion of the original part (some area that was protected from damage, rust, and sun).

Rust oleum from Lowes Gloss, satin and or flat if needed and youd be surprised what a little wet sand and buff with mcguires does to the final finish

And the Advan-Zone parts store brand, DupliColor, I think, has an engine paint line that has a flat, semi-flat, and semi-gloss that really have the right gloss levels for most under-hood stuff, cover well, dry quickly, and seem to last as long as anything else out there.

That is the info I was wanting confirmed, so thank you for that. Good quality gloss black it is.

I will say that the 66 dash is a suede texture, but the column appears gloss black. The trim cone is unmolested, and I can use that as a guide.

On the point you raised, there are two colors listed for black body side molding and for the BB-1 exterior color, 9000 and 9300. The black racing stripe is listed as 9000. The assembly manual calls out the suede paint texture for most, but not all dash colors.

 

[MDchanic]

It looks like 9000 is definitely fully black, but 9300 may have a tiny bit of blue in it.

Or maybe I'm wrong. You could ask your local paint dealer, and I'm sure they'd be glad to tell you.

I believe they are both packaged and sold as-is, not mixed up later.

For rattle can paint, I like the Rustoleum Professional line.

I am not suggesting that you use Krylon paint, but I will tell you that over the years, I have used Krylon gloss black with a few light coats of Krylon gloss clear, and it held up for many years. If you have the ability to purchase automotive paint, mix it and spray it with a spray gun, then go that route.
