Here's the PPG formula codes for your 67 Dark Brair Brown ('83-'84). For semi-gloss it's 25172, low-gloss it's 25229. Since it seems that PPG owns SEM there shouldn't be an issue cross the codes. If needed in PPG it'll be in the One Choice line. Don't forget to get a copy of the product sheet (P-sheet) which will explain how to apply on each different surface along with the required products.
Thank you! I needed this for my 84 regal. I too need ideas for my seats to redye... Light blue is gonna be a B!tch & I fo sho ain't gonna send my covers to SMS then get them back 4 yrs later. smh

any auto paint store can match the color you will need a paint gun .its good for hard plastic parts ..when you say seat bottom i hope you are not talking about the part you sit on it;s to flexable
Not all paint companies can mix up vinyl paint. I work for a company that sells BASF products, and unfortunately, we don’t mix vinyl dye Axalta is a company that does. So if you can find a store that sells that, they might be better help.

It would be a good idea to get a list of who does have mixing systems for interior parts & to what degree of materials that can be recolored. This would be SEM, PPG's One Choice & Axalta (formerly DuPont) so far as sources & should be able to supply formula numbers crossed with OE codes.

I’ve had good luck with DuPont over the years. Stuff lasts. I used it on some stuff on my boat and it held up great out in the sun.
