Yes I have searched, but can't find the answer. Please look within!

So I recently bought a 2002 Trans Am 6 speed console and what to do some work on it to restore it to it's former glory.
Now I want to paint it with SEM's line of dyes.
I want to paint it to match the grey on the radio pod, and perhaps paint the lid to match my black dash pad.
I just need help picking the colors.

Here's a pic of my interior, if anyone knows the answer to my 2 questions: Which is the best SEM Grey to use? and Which is the best SEM Black to use? That would be great!



Using the search bar i've found that for the black the SEM Landau Black #15013 is a good match.
And for the grey the SEM Thomas Bus Grey

The closest gray to the console and radio pod is Graphite. The black you want to use is Landau Black.

So just "graphite"? Not light or dark graphite?

Perfect! Theyre on eBay so I guess i'll get them.
Now do I get the Sand Free Aerosol Adhesion Promotor? I do I go with no promotor? I've seen people do it both ways.
I watched the fbodywarehouse youtube video, and he didn't use it.
Should I maybe use it if i'm dying just a console piece then the piece that goes over the heads of the people in the rear seats.
Use it or not?
And then i'll top with the low luster clear.

This paint can be also matched to your interior color.You have to find some auto paint supply shops who sells this product.I found that out month ago at Ellis color supply in Dallas they are able to get you custom color in any shade. I used it without any adhesive just cleaned with acetone.Thats it.

I think i'll just buy the graphite and landau black, I hear it's a good match. But just do a good prep job and no adhesion promoter? Well that just saves me money!

Well, i'm actually German, but for some reason I have a lot of Polish friends, so i've learnt some polish from them and their parents. And people just kinda added the "ski", since everyone else is Polish.
Weird hey.

What did you use SEM on?
