Help! Olive 72 vinyl paint - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I think I ask this once before.
Has anyone found the correct olive green vinyl paint that matches our 72 olive green dash pad and door panels?
The stuff from LMC is a silvery olive green and looks nice but not the same color as my factory 72. Their's must match 69-70's??
Thanks!

Any good paint store should be able to match your color in vinyl paint.

Ditto on above suggestion. Tim do yourself a favor and take in a piece of the color you want to match up and a local paint seller can mix you up a vinyl spray that will be as close as you can get. Don't waste time and money on judging cap colors and the chances of being wrong. Trevor

yep, you will not find that color in ANYTHING aftermarket.

like everyone said, get a auto paint store to mix you some up in a spray bottle. I once posted a tutorial on how to paint sunvisors. it's ALL about the prep!
