Finally got a confuser up and running that will allow me to handle graphics again. Here are a couple of pictures of some interior parts that were sprayed with the PPG DBU/DIU #27467 "Graphite Brown Metallic". I used a PPG DP-90 LF (black epoxy) primer under all the paint.
The light reflection makes a big difference in the way the shade looks. As it was explained to me, the new metallic paints use a different metallic flake and this gives it the difference you see. Head on the shade is a very close match but when viewed from an angle it appears darker than the original.
In the left door picture the inside of the door has been repainted, including the window garnish, the door sill plate and the seat skirt, the rocker and pillar has not. You can also see the original mast jacket color in this shot.

The skirt and rocker are almost identical in the right side head on shot, but the window garnish and inspection cover look much darker.

Brian, I'm not an expert here, just reporting my findings and personal observations. I'm not really sure what your talking about when you say that the interior is painted Maroon. All I have ever seen is the Brown Metallic interior color in the AD's. Maybe someone with more exposure can help you out.
