Elite Veteran Posts: 963 Location: San Antonio, TX | OK, on both my sedan with the 543 trim and 4dr hdtp which is 533 the push button housing color is green. Yep green. Kinda a olive or forest. I thought that was odd since both those trim packages are browns. I don't think it's the Tamarack Green Metallic. Definitely not metallic anyhow. Anybody know what the color green is or have done a color match? thanks, Dave (pushbutton.JPG) Attachments ---------------- pushbutton.JPG (41KB - 129 downloads) | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 963 Location: San Antonio, TX | Yep I hear you. I was getting ready to paint it dark bronze like the rest of the trim. However, I am almost certain that I am dealing with factory color. So if it came that way then I'm going to go with the dark green.

Elite Veteran Posts: 963 Location: San Antonio, TX | Maybe this shows the green color better. The flash washes it out some, but it's definitely green. (greenpb.JPG) Attachments ---------------- greenpb.JPG (129KB - 133 downloads) | ||

Unless there is some other green in/on the dash or on the door panels, I would suggest that the green was a factory Fkup that nobody caught. You now have the opportunity to correct that mistake or simply repeat it. Personally, I would go with the bronze and correct the mistake. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 963 Location: San Antonio, TX | I'd be inclined to agree the green might be a mistake. However... the same mistake on both my 57 De Sotos seems a bit unlikely. It's weird no doubt. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9883 Location: So. Cal | Underneath the pink paint applied by the previous owner, mine has that same dark green color. But my car was originally an Aqua so it would make more sense. They may have all been painted that color just because it is a part that is not readily seen on the underside of the dash. The same part on my Chryslers are all black color. | ||

Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 10179 Location: Lower Mainland BC | The replacement part numbers for that housing do NOT indicate any colours so who knows what was going on back on the line.

Elite Veteran Posts: 963 Location: San Antonio, TX | Even if it was dark green from the factory. I just repainted it dark bronze. I'll send a pic when it's reinstalled. I was just kinda surprised that both my cars came that way. Edited by macedon 2017-04-09 3:11 PM | ||
