    I used SEM 15173 Camel for the doors and all panels...in the Color Coat Aerosol. For the Door panel inserts and rear Seat ,I used Dearborn Classics Vinyl Dye Ginger. Belive me ,I went round and round trying to find a nice Color Combo. (y)

    Interior Upgrade

    Here are a few more pictures. I have been up late every night cleaning and sanding,preping everything. Now that Seats ,Carpet,Rear Panels, new Deck Panel Rear ,with new 70"s thumper speakers. Moved to the Front. Kick Panels with Grilles, Have the lower Half of the dash all re- painted. Now to the Center it will be Grabber like Flat Black. I am thinking after trying a few blacks going with a Semi-Gloss Black? What have you Maverick Experts used on yours? Dash Pad will be after that. I have about another 2hrs still tonight, quick few Cold Ones and back at it......Kirk

    I have never been much of a fan of other than black or grey interiors but yours looks really good :thumbs2: You have changed my opinion

    I remember when you first got the car, it has came a long ways since then. I would say you are the best thing that ever happened to the car.

    Keep up the good work on the car Kirk
