Interior Paint Color

[SilverSS1969]

Hi guy/gals
New here and have a question I can't seem to find.
I have looked all over the net to try and find a color chart with my interior color on it.
Car is a 1984 plain Jane Monte Carlo. It was my first car and have on to it since 2001 and do not plain to let it go. Lots of sentimental value to me. When I get my 69 camaro restoration done, I plain to strip the Monte and redo from ground up. Forchantly this is a southern car so body work will be next to nothing.

The problem I am going to have is interior. It's very weather cracked and brittle. The interior is a off white/cream color but can NOT find vinyl and plastic paint/dye for the interior. Does anyOne know where I could get this color dye/paint at?

Second, do they make original looking fabric to these cars? Seat are nice but have one rip in driver that I want fixed. Again it's the same color.

Thanks for any help guys.

Your local automotive paint supply store (some NAPA stores also) can color-match SEM Color-coat paint for any application.
They can match to the interior color code, but its better to bring them a part and let them match the color to your part. They can put the paint in spray cans if you want.

I usually give them a painted ash tray door, arm rest base or other part that is not faded. The back side of a trim panel might be your best sample if the armrest bases and ash tray are not good enough.

Regarding the cloth; SMS fabrics is probably your best choice, but that OEM material is expensive.http://www.smsautofabrics.com/

I've found that the trim shops that do dealer repair work often have remnants - you might want to call around to the local dealers and find out who does their interior work. You might get lucky and find someone who has a bolt end of your material.

There are two local paint supply companies that I've been very happy with.

One is Painter's Supply & Equipment. I am closer to the Waterford location, but they also have a Mt. Clemens location: http://www.painters-supply.com/paint_stores/loc_sto_pic.asp?LOC=100000018

The other place I recommend is Automotive Color Supply in Roseville:http://www.automotivecolorsupply.com/

X2 on having an auto paint supply shop mix you up a custom can of interior dye. I'll be having space age paint and supplies mix me up a few cans next month
