I want to use SEM product,but I don't see it listed on their color chart.
Anyone know if SEM makes it and it's just not listed?
Wishing about now that I had black interior!
Thanks for any help!

Forgot to mention, this is for hard plastics.

Well, after trying different carmine interior paints from OER brand, Year One brand, SEM paints and NPD products. None of them were even a close match. I have two cars with original carmine interior - 80 Z28 and 79 transam,
so I had good examples to start with.. I finally nailed the perfect match using OER interior paints... Paint a light skim coat with black, making sure good 100% coverage... then paint 3-5 light to medium coats of carmine paint...
let dry for a perfect match, nice dark carmine color that is perfect match to original color.. Just my 2 cents...

Are you looking for something in a spray can thats ready to use ? Thats something I cant tell you. If you have a spray gun its easy. Go to an autobody paint supply and they mix the SEM colors right there. You can buy a pint but I would get a quart just to have the extra. If youre doing the whole interior at least the color would be a 100% match. If you dont own a spray gun this might be a good reason to buy one. One more tool for the collection !
