i just ordered an autometer dual gauge pod for the piller it comes black but i need to paint it red to match the rest of my interior...where do i buy the correct paint for this? i checked lmc and i didn't see anything they offered. i think i asked this before but i can't find the thread

 

Try www.paintscratch.com. Check your VIN sticker on the driver's side door jam-for the interior color code. Email the above company and ask if they can mix the interior paint for you.

 

LMC truck has it. Its supposed to be a factory match.

Here is the link:

wow thanks that's just what i need how did i miss that???

 

I havent actually used that product yet and intend to order some in the future. So I cant say how good a match it will be but it should be close enough. Let us know how it turns out.

 

I used a Rust-Oleum Gloss Enamel. It's called Burgandy #7788. Purchased it from The Home Depot for around $5.00.

The color is a close match depending on how faded your interior trim is. I think the metal trim is a semi gloss color and the plastic colored dash has very little gloss. The gloss of the paint does match the plastic on the XLT door panel.

I didn't use any primer and applied it direct. I sprayed it on very dry to keep from covering the grain pattern and to keep the gloss down.

 

yeah i think my truck is a brighter red than yours i hope the color i got works

 

just wanted to let everyone know that the paint from LMC DOES NOT match the red interior at all the LMC paint is more of a pink shade and looks like crap...

 

Is this for your 89?

Look at the 3 digit BODY letter code on the driver side B pillar. The 2nd digit is the interior trim color.
I believe the only Red offered at least from 87-91 is code D which is called Canyon Red.
That's the color of the interior trim on my 88,

This is not my seat but it like this. I also have seen the vinyl bench seat that was offered in Red color
and the trim color was the same as the cloth seats.

 

it's the red that is on the ashtray i just went to lowes and bought some rustolium that i hope will match but won't know till morning

 

I tried to tell you guys that there is a company that will mix the paint and it will be perfect. PaintScratch Touch-Up Paint (rs), Spray Cans, Spray Paint, Paint Pens, Car Paint, Automotive Paint

 

Wow that sucks. I figured it would at least be close. I feel bad for even telling you about it.

 

don't worry about it someone had to try it out i'm not angry i knew it would be a toss up if it actually worked or not
