On '64 black interiors, yes, flat black is used on the dash, dash moldings,
steering column, dash and glovebox pod surrounds and according trim,
ashtray unit, radio mount casting, underside of dash. Of course, flat is
used on the optional clock housing and bracket. This would be the same as
other '64 cars (as per federal regulations to reduce potential sun glare
for the driver). I have noted same with an orginal '64 black interior car
that I have owned and one that is in the area here.
One note: Ditzler may have just missed it in their listing. DuPont lists in
their automotive refinsh catalog of the time, no doubt due to the fact that
they were the original supplier of "Magic Mirror" paints to GM (and still
supplies GM with paints, etc.).

OK, that makes sense, but if Light Fawn (22459) was used with Medium Fawn
(22455), then what was the Medium Fawn Poly (22454) used for/with? Perhaps
the folding top parts? (Remember if convertible had a fawn top the frame
was painted fawn). We need some help from somebody with an original Fawn
interior.
Yeah, I noticed that about the black as well. It doesn't make sense to me.
Is there anybody out there with a black interior who can shed some light on
this?

I think you can tell that Light Fawn was used in cars (like the Corvair)
because it has a darker counterpart (Medium), which was needed to do the
doors vs. dash difference. The other colors used Medium & Dark; Fawn
appears to have used Light and Medium.
I am not 100% certain of this.
It's interesting that flat black is listed as not being Corvair even
though gloss black is. Does that mean Corvair used gloss black only on
cars with black interior paint?

OK, if I put all the letter codes in the Ditzler paint chart, it looks
like this: Is it correct?
The Ditzler chart says Ivory is not used on Corvair, so is code Q really
for ivory?
The only car I know of with code Q is Smitty's "Grape" which has White
painted interior with dark red dash. Could the Ditzler chart be wrong
about Ivory?
Are you saying that F is the code for Light Fawn as well as for Medium
Fawn? How would they tell which one to use?

Here is a Word file I made once which contains the paint codes for 1964
interiors. I took the information off the paint chip chart I mentioned
below. It does not reference the single letter codes used on the body
plates, but we are generally able to translate those codes. For
instance, we know that:
A=medium Aqua Poly. (12533)
B=Medium Blue Poly (12531)
E=Black (9248)
F=Fawn (but I'm not sure which one)
Q=Ivory (8259)
I am still looking for the rest of the letter codes
I have also attached my database (Excel file) of Corvair VINs, body Tags,
and options. I am always looking to add to this file. Of course, it
would be better to put it in a true database file, but that has to wait
until we get the SCG database up and running.
