I second SEM Super White. I am currently restoring a white interior 70 Challenger and Super White is near a perfect match to my new doorpanels and seat covers.

Thanks for the advice guys.  I think I'll go with the SEM Super White also.

Need some help/advice please.  See attached photos of the seat hinge cover I just painted using SEM "Super White" 15103.  The color match is NOT good against my new Metro seat-backs.  FYI - I will also need to paint both my original convertible rear panels, and armrest pads to match my new Metro door panels.  Anyone have any suggestions on a paint that will match the Metro panels?  I had previously mentioned Herb's "White" #1195 (reasonably priced), and Metro's interior white ($$EXPENSIVE$$, but Metro states their paint "has been specially formulated to be an exact match to the color and gloss of our new interior panel lines for the 1970-74 Cuda and Challengers").  Thanks.

Hi Filmsugeon,
These are the Challenger interior colours you are after, you will have to get them changed over from original formulas to new formulas buddy. :2thumbs:

It looks like you need Dive White 8745.

I just did seat hinge covers in Super White as well with similar results....In the past, I've had much closer results...I wonder if their paint has slightly changed or the Metro panels have changed.

One of my customers supplied white paint in an aerosol that is supposed to match the metro panels...I'll have to try that and report on it.
