Default looking for alternative source for interior dye

Hello all. I am looking for suggestions for an alternate source for interior dye in an aerosol can. I recently ordered 3 cans of Royal blue dye (#4319-47) from Top Flight/Corvette America but only received 1 can. After a couple of weeks I inquired about the remaining 2 cans and the response from Topflight was... "the item is back ordered and we don't know when or if we will ever get the ingredients to make that color again". I was preparing to redye the dash pad, a-pillar pieces, both side sections of the dash and the sun visors. One can isn't going to be enough.
Is there another vender that has comparable interior dyes? Does anyone have a couple of cans of the Royal blue they can part with? Thanks

Perhaps they will repackage SEM paint next.

I've had great luck with SEM dye on some of the parts in my two cars, especially when I follow all of the prep steps, though I've only tried black and white so far. SEM does make Pacific Blue, and perhaps some other pre-packaged blue colors. Does anyone know a SEM distributor that can match a color?

Geez...I've posted in at least 3 threads in the last 30 days about how to get mixed-to-match vinyl dye. I suggest that the OP do a SEARCH and review recent threads.
