SEM Interior Paint Question

Redoing my interior in my '86F250 trying to match up the dark red interior color. Anyone know where to find it.

Late Model Restoration sells SEM Canyon Red. I bought and used some of it last summer. To me it appears to match my truck's interior.

Here's a link: Mustang Canyon Red Lacquer Interior Paint (84-86)

I would also recommend getting some adhesion promoter. I used SEM Sand Free available from Eastwood.

Be sure to post some pictures of your project!

Thought about putting this little cubby where the speaker hole was. Opinions

I used Portolla Red as I wanted to get away from the bright red I had. I will have pictures soon as the complete restoration is almost done.

Are these gloss, semigloss, satin, or flat colors? I'm painting mine with black.

My dad has one in his 04 F150, I think it would be too big for your dash. Gary and Reamer made a patch for the speaker if you haven't already seen it.

That offering is just for the Matt that goes in the cubby?
Would not contour and fit in our dashes.
Wait till Gary and I do "Round Two" a 3-D printed cubby for our truck dashes.....Cause it will contour to the curves and fit!

What about the grain? Since I glassed mine it is smooth. Any textured paint or something else out there? I read somewhere that someone used undercoating.
