Rear Lower Luggage Panels

Can anyone recommend a source for the rear lower luggage panels for a 1959 deluxe? I purchased a pair from WW, but the grain pattern was on the wrong side. I called and they indicated most people cover them with vinyl. I would like to duplicate the original plain painted style. Any recommendation on the correct color for the paint/dye?

One option... you can get a free sample at TMI... then take the sample down to your local ACE Hardware & they can match color with spectrophotometer.

Not sure if Clara could help you out with those? But it's worth a PM.

For most split buses, including a 59 deluxe, the lower back corner panels were painted, not vinyl covered.
