Does anyone have a paint code for the green used on the headliner and trim panels ? Thanks, Jeff

A paint code? The cardboard was not painted.

Is it supposed to be green to match the seat or black (as sold by Bob Drake) ?

BINGO! I'm not a 40 Ford expert so that why I asked. Now does anyone have a color code or paint formula to match the correct shade of green ?

Farley, I'm not 100% certain but am willing to bet if you took my photo to the local Hobby Lobby and looked at their offerings of poster board, you'd find a match.
Specifically, go to their custom framing department.

Bob's supply of the paint is on backorder.

Kube,

Great Idea! But what about the headliner and the panels that run along the seat sides ? I assume based on your reply they are to be black (as sold by Drake) ? Are you the 40 Ford EXPERT here ?

Seat side panels? What seat side panels?

GREEN. All of the cardboard is GREEN.

Here's a drawing from Dennis Carpenter. My '38 was also originally all green.
