Lu that's going to be some nice car when you are finished. I admire your
persistence with the matching of all the interior pieces to be the right
color. If it is worth doing it is worth doing right the first time. Mine
was easy as it is all black. What did you do with the other Gremlin? Did
you ever get to fire the engine you built?

The paint was matched at a local auto paint store that the school
has a contract with and receives a discount through. The topaz blue
metallic (PPG #191003, which is used on BMW's) was the closest match
to the Pheonix Graphic stripe. I decided to go with an enamel body
color instead of the BCCC. The interior blue (PPG #15120) was used
in GM cars in the 70's & 80's. Matching the carpeting, seat
upholstery, and original panels was more difficult than I thought it
would be; I have repainted several interior panels before finding a
compatible match! ~Lu~
