RivRider Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) After all these years together, decided it was time to freshen up my faded brown interior panels, everything brown but the dash I re-painted with SEMS, adding my own two tone. 28 years ago she had 72000 miles now at 88000, original faded color last pic Edited September 21 by RivRider added photo (see edit history) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTX5467 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Nice looking car! Took a while for my eyes to focus on the armrest covers being what they were. NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_John Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 RivRider, id you use a standard, "off the shelf" SEM color, or did you find a supplier who could custom mix the vinyl "paint"? Your project turned out well! Thanks for sharing. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John I used off the shelf, especially the lighter brown was real close to the original matching the dash, I added the dark brown accents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a custom match done for my 1963 RED interior back in the 80s. After re-starting my project about 8 years ago, I used off-the-shelf SEM product. Even the Counter Man said "Dead Ringer" for a match. Get Lucky sometimes😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
