Title: 69 interior red vinyl dye for 719 code
Post by: abiddle on September 25, 2016, 04:15:28 PM

I painted the repro 8 track cover with the red vinyl dye purchased from camaro central. Its close, but not close enough. Compared to the original rear panel it seems more orange tinted and not pink enough. Any suggestions please?

My biggest concern is that I planned to touch up all of the original panels before they went back into the car, but now I think the shades of touch-ups would be noticeable. Maybe that's a bad idea, can someone suggest a way to clean these safely?

Thanks!

Interior parts were not all exactly the same hue. Look at some survivors with minimal fading. It is worse on cars where parts have faded or degraded. The parts varied in materials, and if the color was applied or a color of the actual material such as with kick panels, seats, door panels etc.. Clean with mild detergent. Interior colors can be bought through SEM, or have your jobber mix colors on their bank.

The reds seemed to turn pink with age...

I had an original interior 69 with dark blue. Different parts in it did not match exactly.
