interior paint
Has anyone had any luck useing the color match paint to recolor a dash. I see lmc has some in the blue and wanted to know how good the match would be and if it is good quality. My dash is tan and I need it blue. I would trade for a blue one if anyone has one. Mine is in good shape not cracks just need it blue.

Find a place that sells SEM products. It's extremely high quality product, and comes in all the factory colors. I've used it on several vehicles and you actually have to try really hard to mess up with it.

Years ago I tried a tip from Hot Rod magazine..I got some Red vinyl dye from a shoe store...put it on a black dash on my then 66 pickup...Did 2 coats and it lasted for the several years I had the truck...Prep work is the key...

The key to getting a good application is scrubbing several times (with a scrub brush) with a good detergent and water and then a final wipe off with Acetone to ensure that every trace of oil is off of the part prior to being painted.
I have not tried anything but SEM, and wouldn't use anything else.

scott,
I just did the same exact paint job you will be attempting.
I purchased a spray can of DUPLICOLOR Vinyl and Cloth paint (#HVP112 Med Blue). I painted the padded dash and both of my "A- PILLAR" covers. It worked and matched great! I bought my paint at Pep Boys.
