Vinyl spray paint colors? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bagged91 · 03-02-2005, 09:47 AM

I want to "freshen up" some of the vinyl in my 71 & 72 Burbs. I have used the SEM sprays before but I didn't really see anything in the colors at the local paint store that would match.

I need a good match for the Parchment in my 72' and a good match for the Dark Olive in my 71'. Any suggestions?

if you've got a compressor and spray equipment an auto paint supplier should be able to mix up the original color vinal dyes for your application

Yeah, I've used them before but they only want to mix up quarts. I don't need a quart and don't want to spend $50+ for it either. I was hoping there was a decent match spray paint out there to clean up some nicks/scuffs in the seatbelt plastic, discolored visor, ect... One spray can would do me.

Do a search on the net. I know I've seen vinyl paint in spray cans in oem colors.

I use a product called marhyde for my interior. works pretty well unless you are painting it white from some other color. It would take an awful lot of coats for color change. It also comes in #2107 off white

I got some a couple of years ago from Classic Industries to do a headliner was a exact match .

I've used SEM for years and whenever I've tried some other brand, It's been a disaster. You need to look at their "super white" or "phantom white". Do a Google search for "SEM vinyl" and request a free color chart. I've never found one to be an exact match for dark olive, but "bluebird green" is close. NONE of these so-called "dyes" will last if you don't follow instructions for cleaning and pre-treatment.
