1979 Interior
A word on interior colors: There is a flat and semi-gloss listed. The flat is obviously used on the top of the dash, but I wasn't really sure if it was used elsewhere. Recently, in a set of Rinshed-mason paint chips, I found the following statements:
FLAT (SUEDE) COLORS
USED ON: Upper Instrument Panel, Radio Speaker Grille, Glove Box Door, Package Shelf and Valance, Rear Window Defogger Grille.
SEMI GLOSS COLORS
USED ON: Garnish Molding, Roof Rails, Windshield Pillars, Steering Column Jackets, Floor Console.

The 1978 diagrams contain Skybird part numbers, so I'll have to work up a table of 78 Redbird part numbers before I post those.
