SEM interior dye mixing infohelp

My local paint and body shop cannot find the mixing code for 1965 Corvette interior dark green, they don't have anything going back that far. (Funny thing is, they had no problem finding the mixing infor for 69 saddle a couple years ago).

The GM interior code is 430, dark green vinyl. Can anyone help here? I really don't want to try to match a swatch of vinyl I have against the SEM dye generic paint chips they have in a booklet.

Thanks, Joe

OR call SEM and see if they have the formula in their archives of paint formulas...which may not be able to be accessed by your paint supply house. I have run into this issue before and calling the manufacturer often times gives good results.

I got some 1974 medium saddle mixed up to the formula, and I had to get it re-tinted because it didn't match. Took a panel in and had it sight matched.
