Default Interior Repair/1979 Monte

I have a 1979 base model Monte Carlo with 4.4 267 V-8. It is currently the stock GM light blue color. Many of the interior parts are faded to a gray color or badly deteriorated. Does anybody know of website where I can find the parts needed (i.e B pillar). I also know that there is a type of aerosol that is used to color the pieces back to the stock color. I can't seem to find the light blue color. If anyone has any leads as to where I can find these items let me know. Thanks

Those are very good links above. In addition, I replaced some of the interior trim with some Grand Prix parts a few years back from the junk yard. That old original plastic just turned into powder. To match my original trim, I simply used some Krylon plastic aerosol spray paint. It worked quite well. I used it on my pillars and side door panels. Good luck.

I used to work for a plastics manufacturer that made interior car parts and we would just use spray paint on the parts to match the color when there was a small defect in the color flow, ie a white mark from the hot plastic touching the piece as it was being pulled from the die, or sometimes when the colors were initially changed from one to another there would still be some color left over, not much but enough to notice so we would just give them a light spray.
