Went through my dash (tan interior content)

I actually really like the faux wood dash inserts. It really suits the tan in my opinion.

I had the factory color code mixed in the original suede textured lacquer. Not a urethane.

The shots of it and the headliner trim piece on saw horses is about an hour after I applied the last coat.
Did you use PPG?
So you asked your local paint supplier to mix up Buckskin Tan (23076) in a suede textured lacquer right?
Sorry I just want to get it right? This stuff is not cheap!
And I appreciate your help.

I bought it through autocolorlibrary.com, which is one of those TCP places. Anyway, I use them for all the lacquers..the argent silver, organisol, and suede finishes as nobody near me mixes lacquer.

If I were you, I would just have that stock piece you have color matched locally. I painted everything and since these things varied a little from day 1, and they further differ due to varying degrees of fading...I was not using any real tan painted parts with it. So it didn't matter.You are attempting to color match..just let them use their tools and get it dead on to the part you have.

Brock,

I tried sending you a PM but your inbox was full.
Would you still happen to have the paint can with the codes on it?
Or if you could send me a PM with your phone number and a good time to call I can explain further.
Thanks
Don
