Thanks Guys! Kevin, the entire interior does get painted the same color (dash, floors, doors) but it doesn't match the seat upholstery. The door panels matched the seat upholstery, but the headliner did not. In your case, the 51 got a Dark Burgundy seat upholstery with either one of two interior shades: Medium Tan Metallic Chrome or Dark Tan Metallic Chrome. Any remnants in your interior to see what color it originally was is your best bet.

For me, I am using a little "artist interpretation" on the color. I decided with the Blue exterior and such, I wanted a lighter interior and I wanted the dash to have a tad more "pop" than a standard one does. Yet, I wanted the seat upholstery to be a contrast to the interior and the exterior as far as tone. I've seen these trucks with the same color everything inside and it just looked a little "blah" to me. My idea originally was a little bit more of a darker gray, and I was looking through the paint books at the supplier's store this gray is the one I chose based on the chip. It's a tad lighter than I thought after mixing, but now that I have it done it's not bad. It's single stage and yeah, almost has the same tone as the primer I used! But, the seat frame is a darker gray as will be the headliner and door panels. Not so much that they stand out, but just a soft tone difference that draws your eye in with more to look at. So couple that with the dark seat, a black floor mat, and blue dash and I think it'll tie in well.

I kept my idea with the interior panels not being all exact from a 68 Charger I restored a few years ago with a Metallic Blue interior. The interior parts were originally supplied from various vendors, so one supplier's Metallic Blue wasn't quite the same as another supplier's Metallic Blue. As a result, kick panels, door panels, A-pillar trim, were all various shades of Metallic Blue.

Hope that answers your questions!!! The VCCA has good info on the AD trucks, and there's plenty more info out there for sure. Now pick up the LMC Catalog and start into that truck!!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
