Re: Saddle paint for new seat backs! Help
I tried and couldn't come up with an over the counter can. I looked at SEM, Ebay, and others. I am figuring on having a piece scanned and matched. Here are the closest shades I came up with. The darker one might be close for the earlier Saddle. I went with it for my temporary door panels w/speakers.
First is SEM Camel. Their Saddle is a light tan: This was from Ebay being called 58-72 GM Saddle or something like that:

That's the second shade. It's not a match, not awful, but maybe lacks some reddish tone?

Re: Saddle paint for new seat backs! Help
Another option to get the color you desire is to stop by your local new car dealer and go to the detail dept, Every new car dealer has a vinyl repair company come to the dealership to "restore" steering wheels , cig burn , etc on their trade ins before selling them , They can custom match any color exactly apply it correctly so it won't come off and for a little $ will fix your problem .also search vinyl repair in your area . could cost less and faster than ordering more than you need and paying shipping costs .
