Convertible interior's

I redid the ones in my '68 when I changed the interior from all black to holstein. The white interiors in '68 were pearl white. However the rear panels were just plain white and didn't match, even when new. I wanted mine pearl white to match the front panels.
Let me back up just to mention I nearly ruined one of mine cleaning it up to prep it for paint. It had already been sprayed once so I was using laquer thinner to take the old paint off. Well, it just kept coming off-then I realized I was taking the original coating or finish off, too. Sure did away with the texture. So I recreated the texture by shooting it with thick primer which left a really rough finish which I then wet sanded until I thought it was close to the original texture.
I then painted the bottom with some pearl white basecoat. Still not enough pearl to match the front so I added some old white pure pearl I had on hand to the basecoat and to the first coat of clear. The clear was over reduced so it wouldn't be too thick and shiney. Anyway, it was quite a bit of work but the rears matched the front nicely.
I wanted the top to be gloss black so I used base/clear for that.
Here is a pic. You can only see the edge, of course. I still find it hard to believe I only took a few pics of this car during the 4 years I owned it. Don't have any of the back seat-rear panel area at all. :banghead:
