65 Coronet interior trim color ?

[whosyurdaddy]

I have a 65 Coronet and the interior trim was in really bad shape so I had sand and prime them . I'm wondering what others have done in this situation . The car is poly gold with white pearl interior .
I'm talking about the window / headliner trim .

hi TCP color library they have a complete listing on all the cars and colors. my 65 satellite is in that gold poly and now that it's painted it's like WOW!!!!

My 65 started life in the poly gold with pearl white interior. The paint was changed 20+ years ago, now a rootbeer metallic, but the interior is still original. I've been concentrating on getting the car drivable. But I have pulled the seats out to remove the ratty old carpet. Most of my interior trim I believe is chrome trim, it is rusty and probably pitted but I haven't done anything with it yet. I'm curious to see what you or others do. I may try some of the "chrome" paint to start with or maybe paint it white for now. Won't be able to afford to rechrome for some time. 2 kids in college right now.

I tried several different colors and ended up using a camo earth brown which was the same color used on the top of my dash . Just like your car Riverdawg my car is Poly Gold with pearl white interior and the exterior has the 50 year old patina so every color I tried jumped out at me , at least the flat paint doesn't jump out at you. Some day I may have the moldings stripped and spray chromed . I should have my interior done in the next few weeks .

Looking good. Are you putting in a new interior? Can you tell me what the carpet color is?
Do you have the original clock in the console? Someone stuffed a tach in mine, so the clock is gone. If you have a chance can you get a closer pic of the clock sometime.
Thanks, Ken aka Riverdawg

Yes I'm rebuilding the interior and it has been a slow process . The carpet color I believe is 615 on ACC's web site but I'll check as soon as I find my paper work . I don't have a clock or tach in my console so I'm not much help for ya.
