Then the same should be true of your photos, Jim
And here in Tennessee, it's Jack Daniels.

I keep a bottle of JD no 7 Sourmash handy - for, you know, medicinal purposes, like after working on cars all day long, in my garage, where it's hot and dusty, and stuff. But for better vision, a 7 year old California Cab does wonders.

Attached is the latest version of the color chart. But there's still some work to do in order to substantiate color schemes.

Here's a well worn sample of interior code 62 from a convertible from e-bay -

Seat inserts are the same as the seats, "sun enhanced", but the same. The rest is subject to your own judgment.

Jim,
Excellent example. I'm not trying to be a PITA here, but I see the inserts as slightly different in color - darker.
But I'll defer to the judgement of the rest of the forum here and adjust the spreadsheet table accordingly.
What do you think, guys? Same color or different colors?

Compare the interior on this car with the one Jim posted:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1966-FORD-MUSTANG-CONVERTIBLE-FACTORY-A-C-AUTO-PONY-INT-P-TOP-PS-C-CODE-MINT-/320891080203?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item4ab6994e0b
The inserts on this car actually look the same color. At least to me they do.

Pete...and others,
I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE! The PPG spray-out card and mixing formula I posted earlier in this thread is all WRONG. I do NOT know what happened but I went to the paint store with it yesterday and had them mix me a pint by that formula, to paint the passenger door I am working on.
AFTER THEY FINISHED, I COMPLAINED THAT IT WAS WAY TOO DARK. THEY MIXED ANOTHER PINT THINKING THEY MAY HAVE GOTTEN DISTRACTED WHEN MIXING. AGAIN I SAID "TOO DARK." AFTER ARGUING FOR 30 MIN., THEY CONVINCED ME THAT IT WOULD MATCH AFTER SPRAYING. WELL IT DOESN'T!!!
**NOW I'LL BE STARTING FROM SCRATCH. BUMMER.

Bryan,
That stinks
I wonder if the Ditzler #13004 from TCP Global would be a better match?

That's lacquer. In hindsight, it probably would be better to mail order. After I looked at what could have happened, I think the decal for the dark blue for the speaker grille and windshield molding got stuck on the back of the light blue spray out card. The new mixed paint is a dead ringer for the dark blue.

There's four radio buttons on the left-hand side. You can order Acrylic Enamel, Acrylic Urethane, Acrylic Lacquer, or Urethane Basecoat.
Well at least it looks like you've got a formula for the Med. Blue #12989

Has anyone had a paint chip done of Red Poly 71541?
I have the original colour on my speaker grille of the dark red poly, but I feel the rest of the dash and doors have been painted before.
I cannot find the interior colours for 1965 on that TCP site, so assume that the main red is the same as for the '66.
It is not possible for me to order paint from them, so wondered if this code of 71541 is anything like the original. In other words has anyone tried to get anything mixed from it ?
Thank you.

Here are the Ditzler Interior Color pages for 1964 and 1965.
Ford used a different Red for those years then they did for 1966. For 64-65 they used #71315.

Thank you very much Pete.
OK so I need 71315 and I see compared to Rangoon red on the chart it should be darker.
I wonder if TCP would do me a colour chip of 71315 ?
There must be a way of finding a match
?
Or should I just get MY Jack Daniels out of the cupboard.

I'm not sure if TCP would do a color chip. You'd have to to check with them.
I'd stay away from the Jack Daniels, though. It won't improve the color.
Say, where in the United Kingdom are you located? Dad was born in Bolton, Lancashire. Moved to the States when he was just a baby.

Hey pete
Too late on the JD !
Ok if you go to Google Earth or Maps and type in my Zip IP23 8LP Suffolk UK you will see that its nearly as far away from Bolton as its possible to get.
Have you lost the accent yet ?
