Having difficulty finding matching paint for my Maroon interior.

The vinyl pieces of my maroon interior have faded to brown and I'm trying to get them back to matching the dashboard, etc. I sprayed them with Dupli-Color vinyl paint/dye and they came out closer to a cherry red than the color on the cap. Does anyone know of something I can do to make it come out darker? Are there any other brands someone used (spray cans only) and where can you get them? Dupli-Color seems to have cornered the market at all the parts stores. I found marron VHT interior paint at Jegs, that's probably my next try, but it would be great if someone already has done it , so I don't have to try every paint out there,

Check your local autobody paint supplier, they should carry SEM paint. SEM has a wide selection of colors, if you can't find the exact one you want, some store can mix the color you want and put it in a spray can.

I had some Lesonal mixed in a color and gloss I wanted when I did a color change on the 300ZX, then used a touch-up gun to spray all of the parts. Works well and looks good.

Order the stuff called ColorBond, from Black Dragon/Victoria British. They're supposed to be OEM matches for our cars.
