Default 50 interior paint and a bit of seat material

I have a really nice [for me] 1950 Pontiac deluxe coupe and there are a few places on the windshield garnish where the paint has fallen off. Anybody know a source for this? And, the seats are original 40,000 mile seats. Problem is, sometime in the car's past it may have been parked in the sun because the top of the back seat has opened up, showing cotton stuffing. The fabric colors are gray on the seat bottoms and the tops of the back rests are a dark blue fabric. I just need a piece as wide as the seat [5 feet? by about 3 feet.
Oh, and the drivers door panel has a couple of spots worn through...need some gray to replace the damaged part. I'd appreciate it if someone can steer me the right direction...TIA
Rocky

Oops! I just took a look at the interior and the panel I need is gray fabric, not blue. Here are a few photos.....

These are probably the folks to help you if you want correct original material. Email them & they will call you back when they can talk with you. Very knowledgeable & helpful, also expensive & kinda slow.

If it doesn’t have to be absolutely perfect, a good upholstery shop should be able to find an appropriate match.

P.S. How bout some picks of this jewel!

Good luck & Merry Christmas!

Here are links to the Ditzler color chip chart for 1950 Pontiacs. Page 2 has the codes for the interior paint colors, hopefully a local auto body paint supply store can convert the codes to modern formulas. They may also be able to pack up the paint in an aerosol can, so you can do the painting yourself at home.

Thanks, everybody! My coupe has 40,000 miles on it...original bronze paint with straight 8/hydramatic. I'm working out some electrical and sticky valve problems in between getting my snow blower running.

Nice! I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that color before.

Merry Christmas!
