Ok. getting to the final stages of the body work, almost ready to paint. I have a question, just want to get it right the first time. Exterior is Red, Interior is all White. The Seats are already done in New Legendary skins, When I look at the White seats and the Paint chip for the Interior doors etc, there is a large contrast in the Whites. Code calls for W ( Arctic White ) which makes the seats look more Ivory ??? Just want to get any opinons . With out looking up paint codes , I would have matched the interior paint to the Vinyl colour of the seats. Thanks, hope I explained myself correctly.

I don't know the paint code the restorer used but at times the door panels and seats looked less white.
 
Take one of your new door panels in to the paint supply store and have them match it as close as they can.

Thanks, from what I see and read, they should all match , I am glad I asked.
