I’m trying to determine the color of my interior so I can buy replacement parts. It looks silver and also looks grey. Can anyone help me with this?

66,
Including the year of your car can save a lot of time.
This looks like a Bowling Green built 1981?
33L 33U = Silver Metallic paint over 38M Dark Blue Metallic paint.
29I = Dark Blue Leather or Vinyl interior. The BG trim tags didn't specify which material was used, only color.

Greg,
sorry about that. I should have put a little more information in.
Well it sure isn’t blue inside. Every single thing inside the car is a silver/grey color. I guess someone went through a lot of trouble changing the interior to a whole new color. I definitely need to replace the seats and door panels, just wasn’t sure what color I had so I’d know what to order

Yes, looks to me like it might have been changed. You could go either way now I suppose.

The PO of my 68 convert changed the interior color from blue to black. He apparently used the correct vinyl interior paint, since it looks like it was black to start with. So it looks like you could go to whatever color you want if you spend the money for the good paint and take the time to do it right. Good luck whichever way you go.

I need to take a good picture of the interior tomorrow and post it here and get opinions from the members as to what color they think it is.
The carpet is actually coming clean but think I will order new carpet for just the front. Plus I definitely need new seats
