interior paint colors ans other questions

Cajun68 · 09-01-2001, 11:02 PM

Im in the process of getting my 68 coupe ready for painting inside and out, what Im not sure about is the color of the metale parts of the dash, door metal and such. The car will be Acupulco Blue with Parchment interior and Parchment vinyl top. This isnt the original colors but I think they will look nice together and the interior will be somewhat cooler than the original black! Should the metal peices be blue also or parchment? Im trying to stay close to original as possible (other than the colors of Sunlit gold with black interior)and would like to be correct .
Does anyone know of a Torque Thrust type wheel with 4 lugs?
One last thing, what color carpet came in cars originally with Parchment interior?
Thanks for any help you can give me!

My 68 was orignally Parchment. I changed it to Black. Sorry, I just didn't like the Parchment color, looked like dirty white to me. My car is Red and black looks better.

Anyway, the door, dash, etc. were all painted Parchment. The carpet was Black.
