Has anyone had any luck with the Oxblood color using Sem dye?

Just go to a pro paint supply store and have them mix SEM [liquid] dye to the GM interior color code. Or you can have them match a piece you bring in. Shouldn't be a problem.

All bets are off if you want to use some pre-packaged spray can...even from SEM. Those are a cr@p shoot....

Maybe not in any other place in the world . Sometimes I feel like I live in Cuba no one stocks anything around my area. Thanks for your reply.

If you are OK with ordering some mixed to the stock GM color code, you might use the web to locate a suitable supplier and have them ship it to you. If you don't have spray equipment, also order a Pre-Val bottle sprayer and 2-3 extra gas canisters. Very inexpensive and it does a very good job of spraying SEM dye.
