Paint transition
want to change the exterior color of my C1. Where do I find where the color breaks should be ? Doors and door frames , trunk, Interior. If the outside is white and the interior is red where does one stop and the other begin. Not looking for show quality but a reasonable transition.

It varies by year. If it's the 1962 you list in your profile, everything you mention gets painted white. The only thing that gets painted red is the dash center console (by the radio/clock). The engine compartment & wheel wells get typical blackout.

Since you're going to spend big bucks for a new paint job in a different color. I would suggest getting good reference books such as Noland Adams. Then notes and research from an original car.
