[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] just restored the waterblue interior of my zenith 67 (http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,26604.msg339795.html#msg339795)
the plaid black/blue fabric has been reproduced, maybe you want to use this in the upholstery?

   Here is a sample of what I was thinking for the center of the front and rear seats.

 Here are a few pictures of the 66 now back from Buddy Hale shop where it was painted. The car will be sitting in my garage for another month while the paint cures before Buddy will be wet sanding and buffing it to a mirror finish.

 Thanks Frenchy

Frenchy,
What are you doing with the wheel wells? I see they are not fully painted.
Thanks,
Larry

 Lee easier to keep clean if i paint it body color will show all the dirt and if i hit rocks it will also chip to where with undercoating it will bounce off and easier to keep clean !!!!!!

I have pondering what to do with mine, I like the painted look but want a driver also and I don't want to deal with chipping paint all the time. Kev D on here has undercoated them and then painted the body color over that and it looked good.

In the UK, it is pretty common to use a 'Stone Chip'  product which you apply over a primed or painted surface so long as it is keyed and then you can paint over the top in the body colour. You end up with an orange peel texture , it can be thinned but I have never tried to get a smoother finish.

I am not sure if it is available in the US but ' Gravitex ' made by UPOL is very good. I used it on my car about ten years ago and it is still sound today, no flaking .
