Wilcox interior paint/dye

Has anyone tried this ? It's about $6 cheaper than Ecklers but I'm a little concerned with the color match.

Thanks

I have had nothing but good experiences with Willcox!

Seems as if most of their products come from Corvette America, another well known brand.

You will not go wrong with Wilcox! I used them to purchase all of the components for my 1980 interrior restoration. Key to making sure you have a consistent color is to assure that the cans all came from the same LOT #.

I learned this lesson when I didn't purchase enough from Corvette America once...placed a second order and learned that there are color variations between the lots.

Go with Wilcox!

Just echoing what others have said about Wilcox, bought complete interior set for an '82 from them just before christmas. Carpet from AAC and Corvette America mounted 100% leather seats and door panels, all first class. Dealing with Wilcox was a pleasure very nice folks.

I did my interior with Willcox stuff, top notch as far as I'm concerned. The dye is the same as everybody else has. Check out my Corvette photos to see how my interior came out.
