Jean-Yves and All: The interior paint specification for the 300F, and all 1960 Chryslers with the "black" instrument panel is the same Black Frost Poly gloss (Chrysler color #C-5189-B, Ditzler #9229) whether it is the stamped steel portion or the pot metal air deflectors. Since the I/P components were painted individually, the perceived color differences could be due to the "orientation" of the metallic during the spraying, I suppose. Hope this is of a little help. 300ly, Gil C. In a message dated 9/9/2011 8:00:45 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, jymopar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: Hi to everybody. My 300F has a/c. I'm looking for some feedback regarding the color of the 4 pivoting ducts on the top of the dash. As far as I can tell, my dash was still wearing it's original paint when I got the car. The color of my ducts look more of a dark charcoal color than right out black like the rest of the dash top. Is this correct? Or has the sun faded the black paint on the"pot metal " ducts to this charcoal color? Wondering if I should repaint the ducts black to match the dash frame or paint the ducts charcoal?? Thank you! Jean-Yves in New Brunswick.
