My husband has used Duplicolor from NAPA parts with good results on my 70 LT-1 when the new parts didn't quite match the old ones (Black interior.) No problems with it going on and staying on the soft vinyl dash parts and new center console to get a good interior match. he preped the parts with brake parts cleaner after I scrubbed them down with Castrol Super Clean on a 80 degree day. Car is 200 miles away getting prepped for paint or I would post photos.

SEM automotive interior dye. Any reputable auto paint supplier will have it and will be able to mix the color you want. Take a sample of your black and they will match it. Very good quality stuff and shoots like lacquer.
