searching for vinyl paint/dye
It looks like VHT stopped making satin medium blue vinyl paint/dye (SP-951). Does anyone happen to know if there is another paint that would be a near exact match to the VHT paint?

Re: searching for vinyl paint/dye
Yes, I have a can of SEM but it is much darker and looks like they do not offer a medium blue close to VHT. Anyone use Dupli Color?

Re: searching for vinyl paint/dye
I have never used the Dupli Color vinyl paint, but I have used their regular paint in both solid color and metallic and have been very happy with it. I plan on trying out their vinyl paint in the near future.

Re: searching for vinyl paint/dye
I will suspect that Dupli Color won't offer it seeing that Dupli Color and VHT are the same company. They do have a medium blue #HVP112 it maybe close can always contact VHT or Dupli Color and ask if they are close or see if they can give you a paint formula to have some blended.

Re: searching for vinyl paint/dye
I know auto body paint supply shops used to mix it whatever color you want. The old paint books had the interior colors

Re: searching for vinyl paint/dye
Thanks guys, VHT's repsonse was that it was discontinued and there is no replacement available that they offer.
Looks like getting something custom mixed is the route I may end up going, which is fine, just a disappointment it's no longer available off the shelf.

Re: searching for vinyl paint/dye
I see Classic Industries sells a Medium Blue vinyl paint. Anyone here tried it before? There is no color sample shown online and for $16 a can I'd like to know at least if its close before ordering it.

As stated in the above post #4, USA1 is probably the best as far as matching. And they will also do custom color matching to get even better results.

Re: searching for vinyl paint/dye
The part on the left has been painted with the Classic Industries Medium Blue. The part on the right, is original & untouched.
