Interior paint

Does anyone know where I may be able to get matching (or near) interior paint to paint my dash pad.

Colour is light blue

Cheers

I painted mine with normal 2k body paint and they came out perfect

68 charger dash pads

I found that it was very hard to get them clean properly

I had to scrub them with a nail bush with thinners then silicon remover

I then spray very light coats over a week. If I didn't it would fish eye.

I also tried a anti fish additive but this didn't work.

Very very thin coats

JohnS has a good contact for vinyl dye

I used Vinylkote, they matched the colour absolutely exactly and it came out a treat!

i used wikes version of smoothright....very thin covering

like hammerite but without the hammered/cast iron look

sounds wrong doesn't it

but did my armrests (similar to dash pad)

blue and brown to black

worked a treat.

nice gloss look

no primer no nothing

little loss of grain to the vinyl

sticks like....etc

ive gouged some off by grabbing the arm rest with my car keys in my hand but i was expecting it all to come off in a week

quick cheap easy and looks as good as new

but as i said

wrong on every level
