Paint coads
ok so this maybe a silly/easy question buthere goes.
I just got a 79 and its black, but the door jams are silver, and the interior is oyster. so i do not belive the exterior is fractory black. where is the paint coads ?
oh and 1 more thing. i worked in a pontiac dealer for years and we painted new dash boards when they were replaced. can i get interior paint for this color ? or am i better off replacing parts? One of the T-top headliners is missing.

Do not use "paint" on interior panels. Use vinyl dye or elastomeric coloring agent [like SEM ColorCoat, etc.]. Google "vinyl dye" and learn about how to redo interior (plastic, vinyl) components. It's really pretty easy if you buy the right stuff.

Hmmm... if the jambs are silver, you know what that means..... twas mostlikely a silver car w/oyster interior. That would be a nice combo IMO. Ya gotta like silver though. Lof ot guys don't care for silver. Let us know what the paint code says.
