What color to paint with blue interior

I didn’t know that you like teal so much 😬 I am truly sorry for offending you sir.

Well, it's just that my 87 442 is teal metallic blue, so there's that. 🙂

Don't you mean my future 87 442 that you're just a current caretaker for until we make some arrangements with your wife? 🤔

I added 2 pics of the car. The wheel that are on there are going to be on there for a little while.

we usually do half a dozen for customers to paint different pictures for presentation.

Despite the 86-87 color description that GM used your car is blue. My favorite for those years.

This is teal......🤮

Getting exterior/interior colors right can drive you crazy. One wrong color on either choice can make a car look like crap. I went through it when my wagon was being painted. Every time the shop tried to mix the factory fern gray it sprayed out a light green. In the end I went with a Nissan color. I wanted the closest match to the factory color with ultra fine flakes. I also wound up respraying all the interior plastics a color that looked better than the original greenish gray. All due to me having the seats, carpet and headliner redone. At that point I had a lot of options.
That being said, since your interior is already dark blue I would probably stick to some shade of blue or just leave it white. GM had a few nice blues back in the early 80s. Some folks think Im a little strange but I really like original colors on older cars. Just go on bing or google images and search for blue Malibus. There has to be a ton of pictures out there.

Boy you work in a high end shop. Where I work, they’re old school.

Just toss me the keys to the 442. I'll happily drive home, I'm not even drunk! 😉

Thanks for the replies guys. I’m far away from painting, but just can’t see the car in any color than what it is, so the ideas are helpful. I’ll have to do some spray outs and check them out.

Ditch the blue interior 😉
