I posted that picture. I used all the original carpets as templates -- the new ACC carpet needed a lot of trimming / modifying to match the original.

Thanks Agree.. a lot of trimming I ended up sewing the edges to match the original style the vinyl color was also off do re dyed that also .

The vinyl color of the ACC carpet was way off on mine too. I ended up buying vinyl material from Legendary -- the same vinyl they use to make the seat covers (Citron Gold). We removed the ACC vinyl and sewed in the Legendary vinyl. I got a little **** trying to keep it as original as possible. Sounds like you strived for that original look too.

Had similar issues with my 67. Gold upholstery and black carpet. Seems there was 3 different versions of gold for the interior: Seats, vinyl on the panels, and then the sail panels with the rest of the liner sections.

Yes -- similar situation with the P4Y Citron Gold interior. Sail panels, door and side panels, kick panels, armrests, etc... all totally different or slightly different colors. I think there were six or seven different colors. I did find a vinyl paint company (SEM) here locally that could color match, mix and put the paint in spray cans. What a great help they were -- Tape Incorporated in Virginia Beach Va. He was surprised at the amount of metallic in the original paints. So much so he had to order a really fine metallic to finish the mix. Really like the work you did on your car.

Thanks. I managed to locate the color chart for the interior colors to help with the creation of a paint that would work.
