Hi
I am restoring a 66 hertz shelby, and I wish to confirm what the interior paint colour is for inside the trunk, the dash and inside the shell?
I thought it was matt black, can someone confirm?
Thanks
Lou

The interior color is somewhere between a satin and semigloss black . Matt is a little too flat IMO. the inside of the trunk is body color. the dash is the black and inside the body shell is body color.

Should be a fair number of examples of the inside of the trunk in the Unrestored picture section of the site below. Though there are a number of 66 Shelbys in that section remember its the same details, as many are, any other San Jose built Mustang

This is likely not going to be of much help since what is available or even legal in one location may not be in another area of the country or world. Also painters like to choose the type or brand of paint so that it works well wit the foundation they have applied before the body color and part of the "system"

Yes exterior color was applied to the trunk and door jambs then these were somewhat closed while the exterior and separate body panels were painted the same color
The interior same as exterior ( shinny)
No its a different black and a different final look. It was a low gloss. So many different names for the particular look your trying to obtain

Originally finished in semi-gloss black different people use different products to get something in the range of what is expected. Suggest you read some fo the related threads here on the site after doing a search for them. Like all paints what is legal and available in your area will help guide you to an acceptable choice
Sorry there is not an easy or single answer to these challenges

Hi
Thanks again for your help. It looks to me that the interior paint is a semi gloss, but there are some areas where it is a full gloss.
Attached are pictures of my dash, and some parts are semi gloss and some parts are gloss. I had a look through the threads and could not find any guides or examples of this. Do you know of any?
Or is it ok I just go semi gloss where it is not seen and full gloss where the paint is seen?

Since the interior color was applied first (example inside of the door, main dash area and A pillars) that area was masked off to protect it from the exterior color was applied. The top of the dash was not typically protected from the exterior paint and that is why your seeing both interior and exterior paint on the top of the dash. Since both interior colors are similar I've posted a picture of a car with contrasting colors/paint to illustrate. Have a fair number of others but this should do it.
Example #1 - Blue interior and white exterior

Example #2 (top) - Black interior and blue exterior
Example #3 (lower) - Parchment interior and dark green exterior

The part that you see in the interior was not full gloss paint . Typically the interior paint was not much shinier then semigloss. It did vary.
