Hi all!
Trying to get the right Paint/Dye color for the interior plastic trim pieces for my 85 C20 I'm restoring. The LMC Blue was too dark, and I haven't had any luck with the Duplicolor Vinyl paints to date. The SEM folks don't have a corresponding code either. any ideas out there?
Going in for body work and paint next week, hopefully!

I know you said SEM doesn't have a code, but have you compared to their color chart?

I know there are auto body shops that can mix SEM colors for a custom paint and they will put it into an aerosol can.

I've struck out twice trying to match with the color samples, and trying to match the color over the web might be hit or miss.

The local NAPA mixes paint, but not SEM. They also weren't sure they could get the right paint type for painting over Plastic. I might try them again though.
