carpet color on white door panels ?

[35chevcoupe]

Ok guys,  Finally received my color sample from Legendary for the white they have listed for the 65GS interior . This may be hard to tell by the picture but ill try it .
To me this looks to be an off white compared to the white paper it is stapled to . 
I want to make sure the color white is right first before I tackle the grey carpet .
Any thoughts ?

Looks more like vinyl top material to me!? The grain doesn’t look right to me!? Maybe some of the other guys with white interior they have more recently done will chime in!!

John, Legendary only sells the off-white interior vinyl. That’s what was put into the turquoise convertible. It’s the only white they sell. If you can source some correct pattern white vinyl (like someone else on this forum did) Legendary will make your interior from that. The lead time would be horrific but ……

So I cleaned up a couple spots on the original white bucket seats that normally wouldn't be faded and now I'm not so sure that this isn't the right color .
The grain or pattern looks to be right on .
Thanks guys for your help and input . Think its time to make another call to Legendary and try to get something happening .
Milton, I may be giving you a call soon and Chuck too if that's ok ?

The correct carpet for white interiors is:

Auto Custom Carpet, 80/20 Loop pile,  #35-1956 Charcoal

[BuickGS65]

And if you need to dye or freshen up any plastic or vinyl, use:


SEM Color Coat Vinyl dye #15303 Graphite.  It's a good match to the original gray trim.

Be sure to clean first with SEM vinyl prep.

The Legendary color was not listed as ?frost? white,but when I got mine I was happy with the color. I compared it to the original panels and seats and it looked very good. I ended up re-using my original windlace and it was a bit more non white compared to the panels. I don?t believe the oem color is a refrigerator type white,but it definitely is not parchment like the late 60?s GM. I would have to say it is somewhere between the two. In other words,if I look at what we call white leather seats these days?.our 65 color was not that white. I have only seen pics of others,but the panels offered by PUI look too white to me.

Hi,working on the white interior on our gs just got the door panels ,and am  redoing the misc white trim  pieces  using  dupont Lucie vinyl  color 9625v code w- 3835 white sg med/g. Believe it matches  up with 70 olds white.jim

Your welcome to visit our place or call anytime.

It is best to call first to make sure we will be around.

The wife was allowed to retire this year so that makes both of us a lot more flexible.

Looking forward to seeing you.

Well Legendary sent me a color sample of grey carpet but they have the color listed as charcoal grey for a 81 ford .
Does this sound right ? Is charcoal grey charcoal grey regardless of what auto company is using it ?
sorry for all the questions , this sure is a hassle but id really like to get this right .
