interior trim and vynl paint

[ron chickadel]

i and mr brother both have a 78 & 79 pontiac grande lemans with interior code of 24 . having a very hard time of finding anything that might be close. i,ve checked duplicolor, sem & vht without much luck. also tried the parts place and they are close but expensive with shipping cost. was wondering if anybody would have ideas ? need help please , thanks ron

Maybe have a local auto paint supply store color match it and mix it up for you.
My local Painters Supply mixed up perfect matching touch up paint for both my blue Regal and the ugly chestnut brown one and I had them make it in spray cans, got 4 cans out of a $15 pint.
Luckily they are a SEM supplier also and have a matching SEM color in stock for me.

I had some mixed and put into rattle cans. It was the light blue, same as what you have I think.
It was really too light for my taste, so I had more mixed up to match my center console.
It's a bad (and old picture) but if you go to the 1979 page on my site you'll see the light color on the lower door panels and the darker center console.
Pictures are before I dyed new for panels and new dash...

Here's the color I went with.
Let my know if you want the mix recipe.
I have cans of the light blue if you want that too.

FYI, if you can't find a paint supplier that carries SEM, DuPont makes a vinyl resin that can be tinted to any color, and is available in 3 levels of gloss. I have used it on a couple of different personal cars, and it's what we used at work for the occasional trim piece that was no longer available in the correct color.

There are 3 colors on this plastic piece.
The light blue I believe was mixed to the code. It looks the same as SEM powder blue.
The middle color is SEM blue mist 15213

The dark blue on the end is what I had mixed to match my console.
Unfortunately everything fades differently.

FWIW..DuPont no longer makes paint.

84 interior

My center console, steering wheel and dash surround are all Sem bluemist 15213. Great stuff and was a great match for my 84

Nice interior. I think the Bluemist is just too blue for these Pontiacs.
The blue i had mixed has a slight greenish timt to it. Not quite as Blue..
