55 Super 88 Holiday - Interior paint

Does anyone have a source to reference the interior paint used in the 88's? The dash & top of the door panels is a metallic green but I can't find anything about interior paint trim colors to reproduce it. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have a source to order interior paint for 1955 Super 88's? The color I need is the #1891 Skylark Green Metallic. I've done dozens of "google" searches for interior paint and I'm coming up with zilch.

I have used their paint, and I am satisfied with the results and their service.
The company is actually called TCP Global.
They can mix almost any antique car color in acrylic lacquer, acrylic enamel, single stage urethane, or base coat / clearcoat paints.

Thank you Charlie! That really makes me happy! It's crazy trying to find interior trim information, not to mention the actual products. Now I can focus on finding out what the carpet color was and what the leather/vinyl on the door panels and back dash are 😁
I appreciate your help.

SMS Fabrics has original vinyl's and cloth for 55 Olds and many others.
Quality is very good, but service may be slow, so order plenty ahead of time if you can.

Jen, I think you can trust Charlie's judgement. I did find the interior color for you.

Curious if the original cowl (data) tag is still located on the vehicle (below the front windscreen [windshield] driver side) & readable - similar to these...

This decodes as;
Style 55-3637D
55= model year 1955
3637D = Super 88 Holiday coupe
Body L 19543
L = assembled at Lansing . MI.
19543 = sequential body job number
Trim 317= Ivory leather "bolster" and green pattern cloth
Paint S10-61
10= Black (lower body)
61 = Caspian Cream ( upper body)
