I have a 66 coupe and I can't find the 27 color code for turquoise paint at the paint store, one place I found called for a 5750 Turquoise, and a 5752 light turquoise, what is correct for painting the dash, door panels and rear panels below the quarterglass?

Code 27 interior color is Light Aqua Iridescent. The paint code (R/M, but can be crossed, is 5742). This color is to be used on the following:

instrument panel, steering column, windshield posts, door surfaces, console, and rally pac. Of course this color is on the kick panels, sun visors, steering wheel, and quarter trim panels too. So you can either spray your originals or buy new in the proper color code.

R/M 5751 is the same color but used for the dash pad, speaker grille, lower windhsield molding, door panels, and arm rest pads.

NOTE: If your car has the Interior Decor Group you would use 5751 for the whole interior, not the 5742 as above. The 5742 is for standard interiors.

All of this information can be found in the book "How to Restore Your Mustang" which you can find at just about any Mustang parts vendor. The color codes, what is painted what, etc. is all in that book in the back.
