Default Color Code for my 75'

OK I am still trying to figure this out. I want to use SEM Color Coat to respray my whole 75' interior.

I know the color is called 'Medium Saddle'.

I found this link.
http://www.tcpglobal.com/aclchip.asp...rolet-pg02.jpg
I believe the first page is the exterior colors, the 2nd page the interior colors.

I found 'Medium Saddle' at the bottom of the page as a low gloss color,

Trim Combination No.: 65V,652
uti color, ucv no.: 2-226
gloss: S.G.
dia ditzler code: 23797


What does the supplier need to mix me the SEM Color Coat dye ?

Thanks for the help

I do not know the answer to your question but I can tell you that the Buckskin interior in my '77 is made up of several different shades of Buckskin. T top liners are darker than T top divider bar. Dash pad is actually two tone with raised pattern lighter than recessed pattern. Paint on steering colum is lighter than everything else and on and on. Of course some parts are hard plastic, metal, vinyl or leather. Looks kinda cheap and cheesy but then so were the Seventies. Good luck with your restoration, mds...

Take a piece of your existing trim to your SEM dealer and let them match the color. You can take the codes you found with you and suggest to the dealer the codes could be a place to start.
