Beautiful! I realize this is an older thread but would you happen to know the color code and name for the blue paint?

Since this thread got bumped back up to the front, do you mind me asking how you restored the center consoles, and where you got your carpets from? I've been largely unhappy with most of the kits I've seen, and may have to go to an upholstery shop and have them make up a custom set.

For the center and lower console I used a padded dash filler to fill any cracks, then sprayed the parts with a texturized paint to simulate a vinyl pattern. Then I sprayed them with a tan vinyl paint I purchased from World Upholstery using a standard paint gun. The dash was replaced with a fiberglass replica from Germany because the old one was cracking in the sun even after being restored.

As for the carpets, it has been a while but my recollection is I purchased them from Vicks. Very happy with the carpets, high quality and fitment is good.
