Could what's in the car not be aged more and sun bleached? It's amazing how much interior color can shift with exposure to UV rays. I pulled the console out a few weeks ago and the blue of the carpet under the console was much darker than the blue that was exposed. Just a thought.

I bought an airbrush gun and sprayed my entire interior. I matched the sunvisors and unexposed seat material to the rest of the car(off white).Most cars were off white. I had a dealership mobile leather repair guy help me with the match. This way I can do touchups which are necessary before shows etc. After all its white..

Not sure its relevant but had the same problem with my white interior on my 72 t/a. Ordered new panels, seatc overs and they were an off white, almost cream color. I complained and they did say that pui makes a whiter white LOL. I ordered this brighter white and then it matched well. They do make some brighter white, you have to search it out.
