The body work on my SS is nearly finished (I am so impressed by how good a job the fellow has done, but in truth he has been at it since 8/20/07, the date he finished the sills), so I am now in panic mode on the paint scheme. We will let the primer cure for a long time, but that still means the actual paint timing is around the corner. Any opinions on the following:

Interior paint: The upper inside door (just beneath the side windows) and the lower half of the dash need to be painted. They will be stripped and prepped beginning today. Is it more correct to match these areas to the exterior (or primary exterior) color?

Two-Tone Exterior: I am still thinking of a 2- (or even 3- ) tone exterior paint job. I've got a tremendously good painter (a dad on my soccer team) to do it, for free. All I have to pay for is the booth time and the paint/nozzles/cleaning-materials. Anyone see any multi-color paint jobs for the SS that were done in that era? How about script?

Oh, while I am at it, one other question:

My body guy couldn't help himself, and he removed the front and rear glass to do a thorough job on some spots. Sooooo, I now need a new headliner. Where can I get the same material or something close?
