Your local NAPA Auto Parts store should carry them. May not be the best price available, but they carry SEM products around our area.

Bought mine at a local auto paint supply
Probably overpaid but they had a hard to find color
Great stuff I can tell you that. Stuff has been on for yrs and still looks brand new, cannot tell its been dyed (steering wheel/kick panels etc) and doesnt come off if you sweat or clean it. (and thats with red!)

If you want to get a true color match with what you now have OR with the original color code, you need to go to a local auto body paint supplier or auto parts store that sells/mixes liquid SEM vinyl dye & paints. The rattle cans of SEM are fine, but they don't match original interior paint codes...and, IMO, they don't have the right sheen for vinyl interiors (if that's what you need).

Westco Auto Body Supply, jm2cw. As for the finish to match I would recommend a coat of clear over top.
Clear does a couple of things, it helps tone down the sheen (if your color has one) and it protects against surface scratches ans wear.
I used Phantom White to do my Oyster '80 interior, the match is spot on.
For my seat belts color change I had a spray bomb custom mixed because I couldn't,t find a good SEM match for my blue carpet.
Most important, hot day! light coats, long dry time between coats, patience.

The problem with the SEM rattle cans is that the sheen is too dull. And, I didn't know that SEM made a 'clear' vinyl dye.

I've seen them for $8.99 per can on eBay, you can probably get a shipping discount if you buy more than one.
I'm going to spray my vinyl covered Fiero seats SEM Satin Black so they'll match in my 75 vette I read that I will require 3-4 coats
