 quick question. how do you tell what the factory paint colors are. my lower dash is black. but the rest of the interior was touch by previous owners. my truck is black but its not the factory paint. i am guessing the factory color is black, but i dont know if it was 2 tone and what color. its an 82 silverdao c10 swb

What exactly are you trying to do? Pull the dash pad off or lift the carpet or look above the headliner and see what color the paint is.

I'm trying to figure out if i had a factory 2 tone. the lower dash is black. but thats the only stock thing on the truck. it is a silverado but the headliner is gone and there is crinkle paint there now??? seat not stock.dash pad was Burgundy, i put in a black one. door panels were and still are black. did 82 silvis have 2 tone exterior paint as an option.

all chevy trucks from 73-87 had 2 tone as a option.
the interior won't reflect if it was a 2 tone, you would have to check the exterior panels to see, and then that would assume the original paint is still there.
