Gary, have any idea how many times the interior has been replaced on your
car ?? So how do you know which is the correct color, and you need to
have the rest of the upholstery match the trim also. I was at a LBC show
a few summers back and all in a nice row were 12 TR 3'S all painted
"Signal Red", and there were 12 different shades of red, but all were
"Signal Red". Anyway unless you can find a never redone 59, there is
really no way of knowing the shade is correct or not, I bet at your first
show you will find 4 different shades of grey. Did you purchase the TRA
judging guide, this is a most for restoring and very helpfull. I did not
give you any good answers just some more thinkiong time for you, hope
this helps "FT"
