Default Painting Quarter Trim Panel??

I just changed my interior to white, however, I'm not sure how to change quarter trim panel color. The quarter trim panels are original which are fiberglass.

Do I paint it? Do I dye it? Does anyone have the color code for white?

Default Quarter Trim

I just did my all my interior panels with dye from Corvette America. It sprayed on easily and looks great and the color was the correct shade of 65' interior green.

Color code depends on what year your Vette is.
All Ermine White:
63=936
64=936
65=CC
66=972
67=972

Interior dye from CA should work well. (Their site/catalog has the numbers.) As an alternative, you can purchase new panels in the correct color; I don't think I paid a lot for mine. Then you could keep the original panels original, in case a future owner cares. Note also that these panels tend to take some abuse as you load your luggage area. So installing inexpensive replacement panels may offer benefits in that regard, too.
