Question Package Tray Color Question

Calling green interior experts...

I am putting the interior in my Limelight Green Judge and am not convinced the mesh package tray that I got is the right color. The interior of the car is dark green and the package tray is a medium/light green color. It really clashes with the seat covers, headliner, etc.

Looking for someone with a dark green interior to chime in with what they have. I'm wondering if I just need to paint it with the vinyl die that I am using for the rest of the plastic parts.

Thanks,
Tim.

It should be dark green to match everything.

Had the same problem in my 69, it was way too light, take a vinyl swatch from under the seatcover to a painter and had him redye it. It will also look better since the jute mat'l on those repos is way too thin, darker conceals that weakness.

One thing to watch is that you paint it very lightly, if you apply to much paint at once it will deform the cardboard.

Had the same problem with my 1970 mesh, which is the same as `69 Dk green. Had it dyed to correct
