Need help. I'm in the process of a bench to buckets conversion for a 70 supreme convertible. The upholstery from pui is dark metallic green which is different than the dark green bucket panels I purchased from opgi. I restored the center console with a dark metallic green paint from year one. Every shade of green. From my original dash, door panels, to carpet is slightly different. Is this normal when not doing a complete interior at once. Also, for 70 should it be dark green or dark metallic green? Restos dont offer both, that i can find anyway. Thanks for any comments, I'm getting frustrated. Chris

The green is tough. When I got interior paint I used a paint supplier and had it mixed to the paint codes in the assembly manual then he used one of my headrests and tweaked it a bit to match. It worked out the color matched very good. Can't comment on upolstery, other than it's the dark green mettalic.

Based on the green interior 70 my folks had I remember the seat material and dash had a metallic sheen to it but I don't recall it on door and rear side panels.

I have a 70 sx with green interior. Everything I see is some metallic look on mine before i redid it. I can check my interior paint but I did same as previous poster and had it made from assembly manual paint codes that they cross referenced. One thing I know and my 70 chevelle is similar (but red) - different areas had different gloss levels maybe to avoid sun reflection. Steering column and dash pad were matte and plastic and metal dashboard underneath was satin/semigloss. Pillar moldings were matte. All plastic molded pieces were molded in that color and were semi. I replaced door panels, but my originals had some metallic look.
