Black Seat Frame Paint - 3rd Gen Chargers

[parkerswede]

Am having my front buckets redone with Legendary covers. I need to repaint the exposed metal arms on bottom of seat backs as the black paint is a little rough. What kind of paint should I use and where is the best place to buy it? Thanks as always.

You might call Totally Auto Inc. and ask them: http://totallyautoinc.com/ or Year One. They both have a pretty good supply of factory-correct interior paints. You might have to consult a PPG/Ditzler chart for your year like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1971-PPG-Paint-Chip-CHRYSLER-IMPERIAL_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ34217QQitemZ8041164436QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW) to see what the correct color code is. I believe the interior paints were Ditzler and all the Ditzler codes are on that back side of those color charts like the one I linked from Ebay. Chances are, however, that the supplier you call can figure out the correct color code you need and can match it.

Metal Arms??

[haueter66]

I believe he means the track.  I used matte black spray bomb.

By arms, I mean the two arms (one on left side, one on right) that come out of the lower portion of the bucket seat backs and bolt around either side of the seat bottom. The seat back hinges on these when you pull them forward to get into the car. Looks  Like same black paint as the tracks.

oh

those get covered by the seat back (plastic)

you just need some black vinyl/plastic dye

[hemihead]

Oh those. There should be plastic Hinge Covers on those so I would just use spray or brush black.

Areas like this is just what POR-15 is good for. Once the seat is covered and installed in the car. Who cares what gloss the paint is. As long as its protected. By the way you can get POR-15 in gloss or simi-gloss.
