63 SWC Interior colors
Folks,
I am redoing the interior of my 63 SWC. The color is tan. I am going to use SEM dyes on the vinyl areas. I have just found out that the interior metal trim uses a slightly different color, apparently not a dye. Does anyone know if this paint is available over the counter somewhere? Also, the "halo" requires a metallic tan paint, any ideas? Lastly, the speaker grill and the side vents are a different shade again. Where might I get this one from,
Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Jim, my comment on this would be to get to know your paint shop well. When I did mine, I researched many different paints but always a dead end to come up with a mix. I finally just went to the paint shop and we mixed, mixed and mixed until I liked it. I don't even know if it is "correct" but I have compared to other 63 saddle tans and it seems very close.
This guy even matched my exterior, so I could touch up my jambs.
I will check the garage tomorrow and see if I have any numbers on the rattle cans. I just can't remember if we even wrote it down. If I have the numbers I will get them to you.
Good luck and tip the guy well.
