Contemplating switching from the dark side

I have a 69 442 Tahitian Turquoise that I'm contemplating switching the interior from black to white. Before I make any purchases toward that I would like to know what color the dash/headliner/package tray and console would be on a white interior. Is it possible they had white consoles and if so can a black console be sprayed white (practical?). Any pics would be appreciate as well.

Lots of questions for one thread.

Thanks,
Randy

No No No

Don't do it Randy. Once you have the stripes on the car it will look killer with the original black interior.

I'm not your father Luke! (Star Wars/Oldsmobile reference)

Dave:

Just in the contemplation stage, I'm considering purchasing a black console which means buckets seats which means a whole bunch more money so before I do or don't I want to explore my options.

P.S. - I pulled the trigger on a 3:42 Posi w/Monzaz last week. Kitchen is at 95%. 442 is calling....

I switched from pearl white to a black interior. The black is much easier to maintain and does not stain or discolor easily. To answer your question, the headliner, pkg tray, and upper door panels would be white. The dash, lower door panels, carpet and console would be black.

I don't think the pkg tray is available in white so you may have to settle for black.

In 71 at least, the package tray is black with a pearl white interior.

It sounds like you've made your decision, but just to add some details. I've got a 1969 project car that came with a black exterior and parchment interior. The seats, console, top 2/3's of door panels, headliner and package tray were parchment. The dash pad and metal underneath it were black, as were the kick panels, carpet, lower 1/3 door panels and seat belts.

If You Are Interesred In Changing Console To White ,use(SEM) Vinyl And Dye.It's Available In Spray Cans in Limited Colors, Or Most good Automotive Paint Stores Can Mix It For Use In Spray Gun.Just Follow Their Instructions And It Will Come Out Beatufil And Be Very Durable.It Can Be Used On Seats, Door Panels And More And Holds Up Excellently!
