Stock Interior colour of metallic FC's

Not the colour of dash/carpeting/etc. but the colour of the inside of the doors (under the door panel, not the jamb) the floor.......the whole inside of the car.

Im doing a customer's FC restoration and Im going to be painting the inside of everything....since the car was red I'd like to put on something to hide it. But he's going to go charcoal metallic on the car and I'd like to put something close to what was on from the factory...or at least know what that was.

Thanks in advance.

So no one with a metallic (from the factory) FC has taken off a door panel?

I don't need a paint code, just looking to find out if its black?grey?white?same as the body but w/o clearcoat?

Anyone?

I think it's the same color, but I don't really know for sure as both my cars have been the same color. Arctic Silver. I would assume it'd all be the same color..

If this is the customer I'm thinking of....

My metallic FC had the same colour inside as out, except the inside was not cleared.

I'll take you Aaron. Besides, I'm due for a visit to see Joe. It's Insane what this customer of Joes Is doing to his FC!

I had a look at my FC Joe. Just to add to the concensus, I too have the same colour - minus the clear coat.
