Interior Paint

In searching I have seen other factory colored interior paint. Has anyone purchased or know of factory colored interior paint for the black interior parts on our stangs? I need to repair a scuff.

Actually, I just sent an email to the guys at Speed of Sound earlier asking them which paint they were using to match their parchment and charcoal gauge pods to the factory interior colors. I have a feeling they are using a SEM product. If nobody answers this question before I get a response from SOS i'll let you know what they say.

RE: Interior Paint

I have painted lots of interior plastic with SEM ( I paint for a living) and have had no troubles at all with it. Just make sure you follow the cleaning instructions and you'll be fine

RE: Interior Paint

Go to a auto paint store and ask for SEM in the color you need. Make sure you wash the part with soap and water, then wipe withalchohol, anything else might melt the plastic. It comes in a spray can, or by the quart for use in a spray gun. I'm not by my car, but does that pocket come off? If not use a damp clean cloth with soap on it, then rinse with a clean water only cloth, then alchohol. Mask what you need to so no overspray gets on anything and use a rattle can (sorryspray can) using light coats.

SEM is an interior dye paint for mainly platic interior parts. Alot of people use it for their old school restos because of the quality of the paint. It is one of the best plastic paints out there for the average consumer.

I did get a reply back, I was right about him using a SEM product, but he appears to be using a special mixture. [:@] He was a pretty nice guy BTW, which made me even more happy to have bought his gauge pod.

Here was the first reply from SOS......

Michael,

Thanks for choosing our product, and I'm glad you are
pleased with its performance.

I am unaware of a matching paint for your interior trim.
The dyes we use are mixed for us at a local paint supply
store.

Take a look online for "SEM Classic Coat". This is an
off-the-shelf line of dyes which I'm familiar with and feel
they are good quality. FWIW, our dye formulas are based
from other SEM dyes.

Hope this helps, sorry I didn't have a "ready made" solution
for you though.

Regards,

And this was the second reply after I made my second reply....

I canâ€™t go a whole weekend without checking the emails! Haha Iâ€™ve had years and years of good experience with SEM dyes, so when it came time to have our blends mixed, thatâ€™s the first thing I chose. Again, check out their Classic Coat, as I *think* they have some colors in a rattle can which may work out for you. Thanks, Alan

I do have an actual SEM color chart with samples of all their colors, i'll take it out tomorrow and see if one of the blacks match the charcoal pieces we have in out interior.
