Paint question

'65 coupe, nassau blue with black interior; should the inside of the doors (from the top of the door panels, up and over the windows, be painted body color, or interior color?

Thanks,
G.

It should be painted black.

68435roadster,
I just went thru this on my 65 roadster. It should be the same color as the interior. I used SEM Landau black and it came out nice.

Thanks guys (generic),

I thought so , but I'm considering painting these exterior color-----thinking it will look good. Guess I could easily repaint these area black if I wanted to.
Any other opinions, sources from NCRS, restorers?

Thanks again,
G.

It looks great except when you are sitting inside the car and the doors are closed; then only that one small section is body color and every other part of the interior is black.

My body man painted mine Trophy Blue by mistake. It actually looks kind of nice. I might leave it that way. I will see when the exterior gets painted.

The inside of the upper doors, windshield upper and side garnish moldings, and everything else on the inside should be black.
