American Muscle: The Interior Is “Red”
When we research colors for American Muscle interiors, body paint, or stripe colors, often times there are endless photos detailing the colors that we need to replicate, but sometimes we can’t get our hands on the actual paint or material for a color comparison.
So, when the upcoming 1969 Charger (AMM924) called for a red interior, we simply asked the factory to paint several samples that might be close. The painted seat material looks very different when compared to a Pantone or House of Kolor swatch due to it’s slight texture, so it was a case of trial and error. Even the painted color samples we don’t choose are kept for future reference in case we want to use them later for another project. Unexpectedly, the choice for the interior for the ’69 Charger was based off of SG115 Kosmos Red.
