1968 Decor Package Question

[dobie]

So this came up today. My '68 is a hardtop, which includes the decor package as standard equip. The interior is coded H4F, which is a green interior. The inside doors have been painted over years ago. On the upper door part, above the door panel, what color should that be? My uncle says black, as that's part of the decor package. Not that im questioning him, but I always figured it'd be green, along with the rest of the interior.

Green.

The 68 Satellite I had years ago was a hardtop with green interior. It had green upper door panels.

The fender tag is what says H4F. The interior is green.

Green.

The 68 Satellite I had years ago was a hardtop with green interior. It had green upper door panels.

Ok. Any difference between the Satellite and Road Runner? Reason I ask is because my uncle says the same for a Satellite, but the RR's should be black.

My '69 RR from back in the day had green on the doors with the 2 tone green interior, and the decor package. The fender tag read F3 F3. :cents:

Hmm. Ok. Thanks guys. My painter guy is on the track of black now. Not quite sure what I'll do.

I think this link might be of help

I'm not sure but I think the bolster is what you are trying to paint?
and it shows a few different colors linked to the interior code.
I do know on the 69's the metal color is linked to the color of the dash except with black and white interiors then the metal part is white.

I would look into what a bolster is it might be the two tone part of the seat vinyl, here are some codes on interior colors for 68 if you go green

At the end of the "TRM" row, you will find "UBS". The letter under the "U" is the code for the upper door frame color. The "B" is for buffed paint which is only used for Silver. The "S" is the stripe designator. The code you provided under "TRM" is: Under the "T" is "H" for high trim grade. Under "R" is "4" for split bench seats. Under "M" is "G" for green interior color. What are the letters under "UBS"??

I'd say green. a buddy's '68 Coronet 440 had the green interior, and the metal above the dor panels was green.
