For those interested I present an image of a sun-faded FB rear hatch lock assembly cover.

I have re-painted one side of the cover with SEM 15113 FIRETHORN RED.

I've also included the LH wheel cover to which the lock cover assembly attaches for contrast.

The two aren't really close.

But I don't mind the color, and the FB interior pieces are few enough to do them all; though the dash would be a bastard

Then again, there might be a different vibe in the cockpit if the ENTIRE inside was this color.🤔

That rich hint of carrion in the OEM burgundy is what I like about it when it was new.🧐

I think you got the wrong paint color.. I've seen other guys painting their interior the same color as yours and found a paint that was really close to the factory.....

Got another number coming tomorrow; we'll see.

We are literally doing the same thing at the same time. Burgandy color = 15063. Il go take some pictures for you tomorrow, came out gorgeous! Also, go buy yourself a can of duplicolor adhesion promoter. Sem peels on plastic, it says so on the back of the can that you need to use either an SEM etching primer or an adhesion promoter for plastics.

There is an option other than spray-painting interior pieces and that is to dye them. There are plenty of how-to videos on online if you Google it. I have a guy who owns a LeatherTech franchise that did some leather repair on the drivers seat of my 2000 Acura RL and he dyed a beige seat trim piece and overhead sunglass holder gray for me (hard to find parts for my daily driver now too.) The burgundy interior pieces on my 85 GSL-SE are in great shape as my windows were tinted by the original owner, it's always been thoroughly detailed twice a year and always garaged in the twenty-six years I've owned it. However, the door cars had serious sun-fading over the years in CA and FL. I had the the door cards dyed and I was quite satisfied with the results.

D
ying is a great option if your material is healthy and pliable, if it's even a tiny bit stiff you risk cracking it .

Good point Frogman.

I turned a set of burgundy cards just like those into this for my grey interior 84 GSL

Spray can of SME and swapped the carpet and insert from a GSL grey card.
