Changing interior color
I'm more and more leaning toward changing the interior color of my 71 back to royal blue as it was originally made.
Right now the interior color is light saddle.
The interior was painted before from royal blue to light saddle. I know that because it can be seen underneath some parts were it was painted.
Since I'm from Europe and I can't buy interior dye over the internet what would be the best way to change the interior color?

I know in the states there are stores who sell and specialize in automotive paint and auto body supplies. and they will custom mix spray paint for you. if you have them over there that would be the way to go

Is the dye that they sell in Corvette specific stores special in any way or is just regular paint mixed to match original colors?

Well I have access to paint shop. My friend has it and he can scan and mix the paint accordingly. That would be a way to go but I don't know how the paint will stick to the parts.

Like any paint project prep is key and cleaning them very well.
