I am trying to locate a drivers side door panel for my 77 Spider to replace the sun cracked one I currently have, Problem is I have like a dark brownish tan interior, does anyone know what color this is what vinyl paints might match or have some panels lying around that might match it. Thanks in advance!

At the moment I'm trying to source some black interior panels for my 72. The old ones were tan. I'd guess the PO put them in cause I thought the older cars one had a choice of black or black for the interior. I'll take a couple of pics when I'm at the shop next. If I remember,they were in decent shape. Shipping might be a bit pricey though. I'm in Canada out west

Why not paint with vinyl paint then problem gets easier to source a used one in any color?

I tried vinyl painting a lighter panel to match, the problem is they don't seem to make a vinyl paint that matches even remotely close. The camel is way too light and then the others are more brown than tan, and painting the whole interior is not an option because the vinyl paint still doesn't match when painted on the darker cushions (tested on an old seat cushion I had. I have been able to find used seat covers in this color but door cards seem more elusive. I definitely look forward to pictures of your panels to see if they would match.
