color are you guys using on your side/ rear plastic trim ?? It's the lighter gray that was popular on a ton of 82-92 camaro and firebirds. It looks like sems "warm grey" but I wanted to be sure before I bought a can.

What have you guys used and got a pretty good match to stock?

 

Man it's hard to get posts answered around here.....nothing moves much....now off my soapbox.

Let me ask a different question about the same subject.....has anyone had custom dye mixed at a shop for the darker grey..such as a 85-92 firebird console.

I thought it would be sems graphite, but it's too light...so another alternative would be to get a shop mix the dye. Anyone done this yet?

 

I'm not sure if this will help but when I dyed my interior I went to the local paint shop and had them look up the color for me. They have books (just like color RPO for exterior paint) for the interior of all years of cars. Have a paint shop look it up, and try that. From experience for best results buying something like duponts line or even martin senior from napa and spraying it out of a gun works great. Good luck to you!

 

the computer is the second WORST possible place to try and color match, first being a dark room. Warm grey looks great on my screen. but that could be way off due to my computers settings.

 

If you are concerned about it matching you might want to consider painting all of the grey panels one color.

 

Did you ever get an answer? I'm trying to figure out which paint is right for that gray too.

 

the only real way to figure it out other than taking it to the pros is trying some and getting lucky unless someone has already tried got lucky and remembered what he used.

I used SEM Landue black on my 1995 firebird dash before swapping it into my 87 camaro.
love the results

 

The closest SEM match for the light gray is Presidio.

 

I used Thomas Bus Grey and was pleased with the results...
