Here's Ron's Interior (L) and Mike's Cashmere Interior (R) if that helps.

Re: Center Stack Paint Color

I found this from a thread that Vintage Merlot started for his pioneer navigation mod.
He has the bronze interior pannels since it has the light sand package.

"Ordered matching dash paint Thunderbird 2004 Dash Paint Part # PM19M5471074H from Team Ford."

Hope this helps,

Gary: Vintage Merlot's center stack is black I believe.

Re: Center Stack Paint Color

Sorry about that, for some reason I thoyght his interior had ther sand package. Yes, it is black. I have the sand interior and the center stack color is mor peuter color than bronze. I ordered a dash kit from LAPHIL to match OEM material and was 1st sent a kit tthat I believe was ment for the cashmere...More golden in color and had the TBIRD emblem repeated instead of the dots. Your picture looks much more golden tan than what mine is.

Re: Center Stack Paint Color

Can we assume that that part # for the dash paint ( PM19M5471074H ) is for black paint for the Merlot and not bronze. I checked the part number with Ford and it is of course a valid paint number but the parts guy could not tell me what color it was. I also wonder if there is one for bronze and how to find out if even Ford can't tell the color from the part number?

Re: Center Stack Paint Color

Part # PM19M5471074H is black. There is no bronze available from Ford - or should I say, I have not been able to find it and and have had 3 dealerships look in all their books to see if there was any type of listing - no joy.

Re: Center Stack Paint Color

Thanks Lonestar, that will certainly save a lot work. If I end up having a custom mix made I'll let you know.

Sure wish I could afford the Powersport bronze metal kit for the 2005 model It has the armrest pieces I want) but it's way to pricey.

Re: Center Stack Paint Color

I have a customer at work that has an auto paint and body shop that will do the color matching for me.

How easy is it to remove one of the panels from the stack so they can have it in the shop for matching?

Re: Center Stack Paint Color

The bottom-most section just pops out - the curved section just forward of the shift lever.

Re: Center Stack Paint Color

Although it might "pop out" that section does have spring clips on it that can be release with a flat blade from the top to avoid breaking.

I covered a small paint scraper with masking tape when I did mine.

Re: Center Stack Paint Color

Here are some photos of new samples that I did for the door armrest color. The choice is match the seat leather or the center stack color. The sample paint used for the center stack was one I found at Pep Boys that came close, although it doesn't look as good in the photo. I think I prefer the leather color for the contrast and fuller accent look.

Leather color - good choice. I think it looks great!
