SEM, their products were literally a perfect color match. Sheen was perfect same as factory.
Doesnt peel flake etc. Not cheap but the outcome is worth it. Paint supply stores may carry it..or can at least find your color code and get it for you.
Dont use the auto parts store stuff youll be trying to remove it before it even dries.

Interior color was 423 Dark Green Vinyl. Brands Hatch Green was the body color 983. They are different make sure you get the correct one.

Most aftermarket Corvette Vendors have color match spray cans dye.

I saw that, but they wanted between $45 to $55 dollars for one spray can. I am only doing the spacers between the window crank and door panel. Everything else is in like new condition.
I am going to take the door panel to the local certified automotive paint distributor for SEM products and have them scan it and mix a can of spray dye for $30. I appreciate all of the info to make a
sound decision. Thank you. I plan to put up some photos of this low millage car (21,127) been in storage sense 86`.
