Fellas,
I'm getting ready to have my Mojave Tan '70 Sport Custom repainted. It'll be two tone with Sky View Blue up top, Wimbledon White down low. I would appreciate some advice on the interior.
- With off white upholstery and a black dash do I go white or blue on the inside?
- I need to replace the door panels on the inside. I'm assuming off white to match the seat would be the right choice?
- Keep the steering column black or paint interior cab color?
- Headliner is in good shape and is off white. Leave it alone? Paint it the interior color?
Thanks for the advice.

Re: Interior Paint Color Advice
Everybody's advice will be different, so just take this as my two cents.
Interior color: blue
Door panels: blue
Steering column: blue
Headliner: leave off-white
By the way, where did you find a white seat cover? I wanted to go that route, but couldn't find one.

Re: Interior Paint Color Advice
Thanks for the feedback. Wish I had some Intel for you on the seats. Looks like the original owner had them recovered years ago. I suspect he had a local shop put on new vinyl.

Re: Interior Paint Color Advice
Agree with the above post - the interior of your cab should be the same color as the middle section (hood, upper doors and top/inside of box).
NPD has some great paint choices in their Mustang Catalogue that most Ford Cars used of that vintage to spray your steering column / wheel, and even spray your dash pad if you're so inclined.
I plan to refresh my headliner with a top coat of off-white. Mine is in good shape too, but musty and tough to clean. I think a new coat of paint will freshen it up.
