I need little help with original TTA interior color

I have a 89 GTA with original beechwood interior.

For far I will order a headliner trim kit from Rockauto (actualy Acme Auto)
The color I found that is the closest is Medium Beechwood 1789

I will also put a new carpet & cargo ACC 9205 Cognac.
I already bought for floor mat and its a very close match to my carpet (under the back seat)

Now I have to dye most of my interior trim.
I have 3-4 different shade of tan, I would like to be all the same.

I need to replicate this color
I also have cloth seat.
Anyone have the correct color code?

Is the GTA and TTA share the same interior color code?

If you are referring to the plastics, the Camel color #15173 from SEM is the closest match to beechwood. The TTA and the GTA are the same interior trim for 1989. I had a cracked door sill on my TTA and got one from a donor car and painted it with the SEM paint. Match is very close, if you paint all the plastics it will look good.

Yes, plastic trim..I will do them all!
I like SEM! That dye is great.
Will go out check with my parts store thanks!

No problem. Make sure you prep the plastics correctly before painting. There is a thread on here somewhere on how to do it. Did the whole interior plastics on another car a few years ago and used adhesion promoter first to get the paint to stick properly. I think this is the thread I read a few yrs back.

I agree, prep is everything!
Clean, degrease, scrub, adhesion promoter, paint light coats.
I'ved done my fair share of interior.
Once done, always make a huge difference!

I tried the SEM Camel spray paint for my 89 GTA with Med. Beechwood interior parts and wasn't happy with the color at all. After some research, I found a perfect match on the Fierostore website. They have the Beechwood color custom mixed. At $21.95, it's a little pricey, but well worth it for a much closer color match. http://www.fierostore.com/Product/Browse.aspx?d=206&p=1

I used the fiero paint. It's light years better than the SEM, and color is 99% accurate. It is PPG paint. I first tried it when Motobooks, a member on here tried it on his TTA. Unfortunately I don't know if he is still around on the forum, lotta great stuff in his threads.

Another thumbs up for interior dye from the Fiero Store. Although my car has the Gray interior, the Fiero Store's dye was the only dye I could find that was a match for my car without having to get custom mixed quarts, a compressor, and a spray gun.

4310 med beechwood is SEM's number

I had local paint store mix it up in a spray can and it is spot on 100% perfect match.

Gteatr6 do you have any side by side comparables ? (Original beech wood and the sem 4310 )
I googled Sem 4310 and nothing came up. How did you come up with that code ?

gteatr6

It is not available ready mixed on the shelf, you need to have it mixed. 4310 is the SEM formula number. Look up Vinyl pro on the net. SEM recommended them, but my local shop was cheaper. It is a perfect match. Don't even waste your time on 15173, it is not even close. I attached the formula and the codes from SEM.

thanks, the SEM color code is helpful!

The tire cover in front is untouched

The one on the car behind has been redone with 4310

You can't tell it was even sprayed!
