Replacing interior.

I am working on replacing my interior. I have Medium Dark grey I guess. The carpet and headliner are way lighter.

Anyway the issue is mainly this. I am looking at plastics and door panels and carpet and headliners. Places like Hawks and what have you. The problem is they have like three different greys with different color codes. I have no idea which ones I need. Anyone know what to do here or can tell me what to order? I am sure someone has been through this before.

I am about five seconds away from saying the hell with it and getting everything in black. I would rather keep it grey with Texas heat being a problem. But I am a simple man who likes simple solutions.

I know I can repaint some of the plastics so that doesn't concern me a whole lot. But while we are on the subject, does anyone know what color duplicolor paint I need? I thought about using their plastic and vynl paint to match the plastics. Thanks.

i just got in my new carpet from 1aautomotive. It was called camaro drk grey they also had several hews of grey, when i first opened it i thought it was wrong but now that it is in it is a exact match. Now i am just waiting on the headliner.

As for painting plastics do a search before using duplocolor. There are specfic paints for plastics and i read something about some dies that work good too.

My car is an 85 z with the dark grey interior. Swapped out my 3rd gen boken down seat for a set of 93 seats blk/grey looks sweet nothing like a newer seat
