I have started the restoration on the 61 insane Biscayne project and the trim tag has trim 800, paint 963, I was going to paint the car Emine white with a Red interior? Or Blue interior?
Although I see they did not make Emine white with red interior combo for the 61 Biscayne, Your thoughts

Brian,
I thought I would throw this out... What about 940 Sateen Silver with Roman Red Interior. You never see that combination and it is spectacular... Guess it did not matter what color your Biscayne was it came with gray or gray and white interior...

Watching this project is going to make the winter pass a little quicker. Keep up the good work.

Have all the block sanding done. I put one last coat of high build primer on and will 400 wet sand before paint. I also sealed the bottom with red oxide sealer, and just need to paint the dash before painting
