Default Interior Paint for 82 CE

Can anyone advice as to which vender sell the best interior paint . I want to paint the backing of the seat on an 1982 Collectors Edition before I put the new leather in. Need silver/beige.

Thanks :cheers:

I had excellent results from the paint I bought from MidAmerica, but I think pretty much all the catalogs have the same stuff.

I just finished my CE with great results.

Bought the paint from Ecklers, they have a chart about mid way through their catalog that tells you what to order and how to do it.

If you do the complete interior it will take about 3 cans.

Ray -- All the aftermarket providers carry interior dye. I would not be surprised to find all of it is made by the same manufacturer. Your color is one-year-only and, if memory serves, you have four different shades of the stuff. If you cannot find an exact match in the catalogues, call the vendors and talk to a customer service representative.
