OER Interior Paint - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

I had my seatbelts replaced after learning of the recall. Here's the link in case any of you haven't seen it. http://www.thirdgen.org/camaro-seatbelt-recall. My problem is that my car is white with a red interior. The Chevrolet dealer informed that the seatbelt receivers are no longer available in red, and that the best they could do would be to get me gray. The service tech who installed them also has a Camaro and recommended that I get the OER interior paint in carmine red if I wanted to match the seatbelts with the rest of my interior. I've read a lot of bad reviews of OER products and had a bad experience with their weatherstripping, so I'm a little leery about using their paint. They don't look bad in gray but I would like to make them red if possible but I also don't want to make things worse if the OER paint isn't any good. Has anyone used OER interior paint before and with what results? Thanks in advance for your help.

Look for SEM "Firethorn" red plastic paint, it comes the closest to carmine in my opinion.

Thanks for your responses. I want to try and match it up as close as possible so I'll check out the SEM Firethorn.

I've used the OER paint. Great stuff. Covers well. Will not peel off. Some of the best paint on the market.
