Re: interior paint question
Greg, I have A "B" on the trim tag. Schonye, I have blue paint around the speaker holes but haven't gotten under the paint at the rear window yet. I am trying to post the PPG paint info for 68. I forgot I had it, maybe it will help some.

Re: interior paint question
I know thats not a very clear scan, sorry. Looks like 737 is listed twice both times being dark blue poly, once in A low gloss and the other "0" gloss. Looks like my dash uses both low and zero gloss and from what I can tell the area in question at the rear window is also blue "0" gloss.

Re: interior paint question
I got up to where I've got my 68 stored and checked it. It's an original Tripoli tourquise car, bench seat, 307 glide. O 3 A build. It has the rear area painted low gloss black.

Re: interior paint question
And here's Ray's car. I zoomed this from a larger picture so the quality isn't the best, but you can tell the piece in question is in fact <font color="blue">Blue. </font>

Re: interior paint question
I hand sanded with 600 grit and only find black. I used stripper in A couple of areas and it didn't reveal any blue at all. Thats odd because my package tray area cleary has the same blue paint on it that the dash and portions of the doors have on them . I'll sand more this weekend but I think my car is supposed to be black at the base of the rear window. The only other thing I need to find out now is where does blue paint stop at door frame and doors and where does the black exterior start???

Re: interior paint question
Before I looked at mine, I was going to throw in the towel and say I might be wrong. Tommy, the black starts about 1-2 inches in a straight line, all the way across the package tray area, in the back, and goes up onto where the back glass sets.
Again, mine is a cheapo bench seat interior, where Ray's, and Tommy K's are deluxe. Havn't had a chance to check out Jon's yet. Seems like there is no rule of thumb when it comes to 68's Tommy, didn't you tell me once that one of the previous owners thought your car had day 1 aluminum heads installed at the dealership?
