I always use eastwood.Last time I bought some was from Ecklers for my 82CE.I didn't think to check Eastwood on that or auto zone because it's a special color.

Most places get it from Corvette America, I found that Wilcox has better prices than Corvette America and it's the same stuff.
I used the spray cans and got great results.

same here,used corvette america oxblood in a rattle can,bought thru corvette central ard 15.00 a can..tried getting it from paint supply house and they said it was a ''no longer available color'' they tried to match it,and it didnt look right,,,,corvette america has the colors for our year cars interiors,and a perfect match... i found one thing out while dying my interior,,certain materials take the dye different,,so as your painting you will notice that some parts look dull or flat while others come out with a semi gloss,,,all from the same can of dye,,,,its the material your dying not the dye..so to get them alll to match,,i just clear coated after dying,,problem solved
