The painted items in the interior were Dark Charcoal Metallic. This refers to interior painted panels and not things like mounting brackets and such. The dash pad extensions were a flatter version of the same color based on the descriptions in the paint chip pages of the period

If you have a non-fold down fastback there are a couple of rear smaller parts that are the same lower gloss formula as the dash extensions but you mentioned that yours is a fold down

The paint charts will list the painted parts in two groups when you read it

Don't recoat over old paint. Strip everything, lay down a new nice coat to keep the grain on many of these parts visible. Many use a couple of light semi-gloss black coats followed by one or two light slightly dry coats of Charcoal over the black base since many times the Charcoal is thin with allot of clear carrier with metallic some color in it

Is that the museum in Martinez? I haven't been there yet but heard it is awesome. The SAAC 46 announcement email states they're going to try for a social there so hopefully that happens!

Looks like Red chrome
