Default 1961 Interior Pics

Hi all-
I'm looking to finish up the interior on my recently purchased 61. I'll be installing new carpet, doing some under-dash electrical work and then buttoning it all back together. The panels on the underside of the dash are currently unpainted so I'm looking for:

1. Some pics of what the underside panels look all put together and carpeted.
2. Recommendations on the paint brand/color to use and any techniques.

The car is red/white cove exterior with a refinished black interior and carpet. Any suggestions input is appreciated.

Thanks,
Zack

Not sure what you mean by an 'underside panel' but anyway here is my reassembled, freshly carpeted and repainted interior. The only thing not here is the package tray which I put in later. Since the center console cannot be removed it was the worst piece to paint as shown in the last picture after primer was applied (tin foil is your friend).

.
The three above photos are factory correct and the kick panels {underside?} are painted the interior color. Confirmed by the lower pictures of my original factory interior.
