best source of blue interior parts

[bhemingson]

My 1972 GMC truck has a 572 white/dark blue paint scheme and 610 blue custom interior

I need arm rests and a dash pad. I doubt I will ever find NOS so where is best match in a repop?

best match to what?

the original color
or
the 40 year + worn faded color your interior is now?

The best match between the replacement arm rests and the dash pad. I just want them in the same hue.

for what you want i'd go to a good auto paint supplier and buy enough to paint all the parts at the same time to get them the same

I painted/dyed all of my own stuff. Follow the manufacturer's recommended steps (which are many, varied, and expensive) for a product like PPG and you'll have a great outcome. That's roughly:

Prep spray
some expensive prep sponge
prep wipe
DL90LF primer
DBC2K color coat
"Flexed'n'Flat" clear coat

Pretty much everything in this pic except the seat covers and door panels has been painted. Arm rests, console, dash pad, dash cluster, etc...
