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.

 

That would be awesome, thanks!

 

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

 

Cool. What product would I look for to paint the plasitc door pocket the black/charcol factory color?

Thanks

 

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.

 

What is SEM?

 

It's a brand of product for automotive industry.
Mostly spray can stuff. Good company.
I use their light chip gard a lot on imports.

 

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......

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

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.

 

Great information! Unfortunately I have to use the spray can. I'm going to my local parts place and comparing the colors also.
