The Goat is GONE!!! To the body shop, that is. I took it yesterday. Now, I have some trim parts to buff and a bunch of stuff yet to buy! Norman wasn't real happy about having to change the color on the interior but he is going to.
Oh yeah, When I loaded all the interior parts that need to be painted I forgot that for each seat back there are two seat bottom sides. It will be cheaper to UPS the other two sides than deliver them myself.
And,Eric, the 64 has not been painted yet. The interior is painted and the car has been jammed. He was supposed to paint the hood and trunk this morning. Right now, he can only paint before 9am. After that it's too hot and humid.
Y'all have a good one.

Good to here "It's gone... to the paint shop."

Phil, did you try to find some Turquois SEM paint for the seat sides? If not do so for touch-up. You never know when you might need it. BTW.... the seat backs and sides are not glossy, they should be flat. But I'm sure you know that already.

Now you've got me! Do I need a special paint for the sides and back? I am pretty sure my painter is using base coat/ clear coat on the rest of the interior metal parts.
And, the side panels and back panel are completely flat like the top of the dash?

My answer.... Yes. As far as I've seen on any GTOs I've had, and my first GTO was Turquois inside. The seat panels were all flat Turquois.

Maybe others might disagree with me, but that's the way it is as far as I've seen. SEM Turquois would be correct and it's flat. Or at the least maybe a bit of gloss in it, but very very little..... 10% if any. Gloss like the sash and tops of the inner doors.... No.
