Does anyone have a photo of the right interior colors for a 68 S6C blue/white GTX. What I have is all white, blue carpet and black/green instrument panel, pillars, and kick panels. The exterior is QQ electric blue poly. My guess is the upper doors should be light blue or the same blue as the exterior. Shouldn't that carry back to the top of the rear panels? So far this car has been green, red, and blue (all before I owned it). Since it's mostly blue now that's the color it will stay. I found an old post that said it was an S6C but the seats were blue. Confusing. Thanks.

OK, here is a shot of the door as it is today. You can see the upper door panel is white. I think that should be blue, medium blue or bahama blue or light blue poly (this is what is on the chips sheet). I've seen armrests that are blue or white. Clueless on which is correct.8

The chips sheet also says low gloss finish Bahama blue poly for convertible upper windshield only? Where is that? For that matter, whats a garnish moulding?

Thanks

Here is a shot of one the rear panels. As you can see, the last owner decided that speakers (which were not in the car when I bought it) really needed to be installed (hacked) in the rear panels. New panels will have to wait. The top of the panel should be blue? white? And should it carry over across the 3-inch-wide metal cover over the rear seat?

They should be white, just like they are. Arm rests white also, the only blue is: carpet, all the dash, kick panels, and seat belts.

I thought I had some pics of the white & blue '68 interior but can't seem to find them.

If you check your fender tag there will be a "W" under the "U" (for "white" - Upper Door Frame paint) on the second from bottom line. The UDF, seats, door panels, inside rear 1/4 panels, panel between them, convertible "boot", & armrests should all be "white" in varying shades. The carpet, seat belts, kick panels, dash, dash frame, A-pillars, interior windshield header (your garnish mouldings) should all be varying shades of "blue". Sun visors??

1968 only combiination (in '69 the UDF was blue on the P6C interior)

Door panels have a pearlescent tone like the seats. The plastic panels are two tone. white pearl and gloss white uppers and lower corners.

Great! That hits the spot. I thought the rear panel had two colors. I wasn't thinking two shades of white. I want to paint the panels before I redo the carpet. If it looks half a good as yours I'd be happy!

Did you do anything around the courtesy lights? It seems that if there were something reflective above the light, they would work better.

I am in the same boat, need the RH/Passenger rear panel but understood the repops were abandoned shortly after release.

Laysons made an effort but when I called last month no more. I understood the repops were a poor quality fiberglass deal.

Guess we are both stuck looking for used OEM on EBay?

THANKS for your fantastic picture would you have the paint codes for both those two whites, please? The White Pearl looks dynamite. Whatever manufacture you used looks fine to me.

The pearl is a special mix which I matched to a mint original panel. I do sell the mix if you are interested you can order from us.

Thanks
