How many shades of blue?

Does anyone know if there were more than two blue interior colors available in 1980 - 1984 models. My exterior paint is code 3P (medium blue metalic).

I am looking for interior parts (door panels, trim, etc.) to match existing interior color. So far only light blue or dark blue panels are available. I thought my truck had medium blue interior.

I located vinyl spray paint and dyes with more blue choices but its hard to tell which would be right color. Some have names such as "wedgewood blue" (which for some reason sounds familar).

If only two colors of blue where offered I'd guess that mine was the dark blue. Also, I would like to replace headline with original vinyl style but am having a hard time finding anyone that does this. Is this a problem? Every shop I called wants to put in cloth headliner.

Any help would be appreciated.

Wedgewood blue is the color of my 81 F100, code 34. Interior is also wedgewood blue.

Try paintscratch.com and look at some of the colors there. Light, medium and dark are rather subjective until someone uses it as a formal part of a paint name and attaches a code to it.

You can go to any Body Shop Supply place that mixes paints and they will make you Vinyl dye that matches exactly your colour by the interior colour code you give them.

Why waste time & gas running around when you can just get it made for you.
Also, Buy the PREVAL painting system instead of "IN THE SPRAY CAN"

The Preval system allows you to paint other colours by Cleaning out the jar.
