Blue interior paint/dye questions
I need to change my parchment door panels, seat backs and center console to blue on my 72 Blazer. I need to know if anyone knows what kind of dye/paint to use that is the same as the original color. I know that eastwood, classic industries, and sem have interior paint but I need to know which color blue had the best results and where it was purchased. Has anyone done any blue interiors lately?

Re: Blue interior paint/dye questions
The interior door panels were molded in the color that they were. In the early 80s they started making everything black and painting it giving it a color code. So other then the option code for the interior there is no color code formula for it. I believe the seatbacks and consoles were painted though.

Re: Blue interior paint/dye questions
The color code you want is 510. There are two exterior blues in 1972: mariner blue (the darker blue which your blazer is) and Hawaiian blue (the lighter blue which your blazer isn't). The interior panels are colored the lighter Hawaiian blue regardless of the exterior color. This is my understanding anyways. The lighter hawaiin blue is color code 510. Definitely go with SEM colorcoat. My suggestion however is to actually take a sample of your upholstery to your paint shop and have them color match it with SEM.

Re: Blue interior paint/dye questions
someone posted a pic of a blue console they rebuilt using a corvette blue color that matched...I haven't located anything in a can that matches though. Like the others, custom mixed SEM is all I know of unless we can find/verify that corvette color.

Re: Blue interior paint/dye questions
I re-did my blue interior not that long ago. Painted arm rests, kick panels, Bench seat, sunvisors, seat belts (non-cloth parts) dash pad and head linear. Took color sample to local auto-paint store and they made it up. Prep work is real important, used tw0 different SEM products to clean/prep the surfaces. Paint went on real nice, no problems. See before and after pics...
