Either 2 ways, go to a auto paint and supply store and start compairing SEM trim paint cans, or have the color mixed, and spray it with a nice spray gun, or you can opt for the prevail portable disposible player option... They will have the color code on the computer

SEM dye... Not perfect, but can look REALLY good.

Thanks for the pics again. I still have your car saved on my hard drive. BTW - What did you buy the dye?
Thanks

Plasticoat's Ultra Vinyl will do it. That's what I used for redoing my dash. http://www.3rdhour.com/gallery/

Plasticoat also make a normal spray, but I have had the best results with their Ultra spary.

You can find them at any local auto parts store.

Hey Fire

The most recent places I picked it up for touch-up,etc, has been the NAPA parts store. They usually have some on hand, if not, will order in a couple of days.

Go online to World Upholstery and ask them to send you a chart of colors. It's quite remarkable what's available.

The color I used on this resto was called Napa Red. Others are available.

It actually turned out a little "redder" than I liked but has since darkened (oddly enough) over the past year.
