Colour matching the tan/oak interior.

[danadog]

So for an upcoming project(s) on the 80 I need to color match some interior plastics. From many searches here on mud I have come to the conclusion that the tan in our 80's seats etc. is #42 from the following chart on the URL. However can anyone tell me what # would match the darker brown plastics?

rustoluem textured bronze Is what you want as mentioned above. It's an exact match. It's hard to find by the can and banned in California and a few other states. I have to order online by the case and it seems to make it into Cali just fine. If I try to buy by the can I always get an email from the seller that they can't ship to Cali. Not sure why.

Someone posted this pic a while back which I saved. Not sure if it the same as what @INSANE1 posted above.

Yep that stuff is a perfect match to the tan interior. We actually carry it at the local hardware store.

Yeah, I have read that that paint works and is a good match. I however wanted to dye the plastics and not paint them.

I havd heard that SEM Monterey is a good match, but havent tried it myself. It is meant for vinyl and plastics.

@beno In all your LC wisdom, you wouldn't happen to know the oak colour codes?

For reference, an example of SEM Monterey

Any one freshen up their plastic by painting them?
