LMC Truck Interior Parts - Color Matching Question

[Kilian]

I'm wondering if anyone has used the "red" seat covers, sunvisors, and door panels from LMC truck to know:

1) Does the "red" match between these parts?
2) Is there a SEM vinyl/plastic paint that will match the LMC "red" color of these parts? LMC sells a Colorbond coating that is red, but I've heard SEM is much better.

I'll soon be redoing the interior of my 83 GMC, which is to be more of a daily driver than a show vehicle, so hoping to use the LMC parts (quite a bit cheaper than USA1 and probably in stock) but don't want things to look bad after going through the work.

I had the same questions on my 79 that came from the factory with carmine red interior. I emailed LMC and asked for some pictures of their red dash, door panels, ect. They sent me some stock photos back that were not that great quality but everything looked really red, not a darker red like the carmine red. I ended up ordering the dash and door panels from USA1. I am still waiting on the dash to arrive hopefully sometime in October! Originally it was August and now October. I got a seat cover at the C10 show in Lebanon, Tn from Smokey Mountain Custom Seats. I did buy red seatbelts from LMC and they are more of a carmine red, maybe even darker. I guess I am glad I did order from USA1 even if it takes forever to get everything. I wanted to put the interior back close to how it was originally. My grandpa bought the truck I have new and now it is pretty rusty but I want to keep it on the road. It has some sentimental value to me that it wouldn't to anyone else. Anyway, here are a couple pics that may help you decide if you haven't already....

Keep in mind, nothing in these trucks matched 100% from piece to piece originally. If you're buying already dyed parts, they're going to vary some. If you want them to match, your best bet is to buy them all along with the SEM dye of the color you want and dye them all together.

This one might help, Things were close but not an exact match. The carpet/door carpet matched and the paint I picked up was real close to that but it wasnt cheap.
