Does anyone know if Sem makes a parchment dye/paint that would mach the 69 interior color?
thanks T.C.

I am not sure if this is the correct color that your looking for. I do know it matches the '72 white (which is an off white).

Thanks for the reply Deon:
I would like to find a product that is atleast marked for 69 parchment.
I can get it from Year One but it's very expenstive, like 30.00 for the laqure and 70.00 for the dye.
Im trying to find something at a little better price and I know SEM makes a good product at a reasonable price.

According to their website "semproducts.com", the aerosol Color Coat comes in 53 colors, but they don't have a color chart online that I could find. You could check with a local dealer and see if they have a chart. Worth a try.

Thanks for the reply Danny, thats what I dii first thing this morning.
He's still checking, he also said tha PPG makes the dye/paint and if I gave him the color code he could match it?
well see?

I tried the Year One parchment dye and it doesn't work. It's a pure white undercoat with a slightly gold tinted top coat. After appling 8 coats and using up a whole can of topcoat my headrests were still too white. They did refund my money which was :cool: but I'm still looking for a good dye so please let me know how yours works out.

I think thats gonna be the problem here, "the metallic" I have samples from PUI (vynel)and I cant see how ya would mach that color.
OPG advertizes a parchment spray, anybody tried that?
I have a headliner im gonna take to the paint store tomorrow and see how close I can get, but I have a feeling it's just gonna be a nice ivroy or cream color?
Well see?

Most interior repair techs should be able to match that color by eye.

If SEM has a formula for it, your local jobber should be able to mix it for you....

Also you might check www.reconproducts.com (http://www.reconproducts.com) down in Florida.

The best place to buy SEM paints/dyes is here:

The best selection and the lowest price. They don't gouge you on shipping either.

Thanks for the link :
Your rite I just paid 10.00 for a can of super white yesterday, they have it for 6.98.

Have you tried automotive paint? PPG, dupont, S-W all make interior paint. PPG has color fomulas back to the mid 60's

I guess I missed where you mentioned the PPG interior paint. Ill give a bit of advice, use the vinyl dye over the interior paint. PPG's interior paint DBI doesnt hold up very well, Id go with the SB vinyl dye.

I cut and pasted this from another topic.

LS-5,
plastic parts can be painted very easliy if you have the RIGHT paint or dye and most important the PROPER PREP.

Ill go with the PPG route, since am a PPG fan and know it best of all products. Allpaint manufacturs will have products just like PPG.

Ok PPG has a paint called DBI, its their interior paint. Not what Id use so if you go a PPG store and this is what they recommend then Id pass. Its ok for hard plastic that WONT be near any abuse, like a dash but not for kick panels.

What I have used on a few cars including my 02 Chrylser LHS which I did a COMPLETE color change did a two tone is use PPG SB elastomeric color dye. The dy works with leather, carpet and hard plastic, vinyl and some convert tops.

this is right from PPG, to do vinyl do the plastic prep process but DONT use the plastic adhesion promotor, so you skip step 3. Also instead of the plastic prep sx1004 use sx1003 which is the vinyl prep. I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH YOU GOT TO MAKE THE SUBSTRATE CLEAN AS POSSIBLE.

The One thing Ill change or two things is first wash with soapy water dry and then do step 1. Also you dont need a clear coat for this dye, you can apply if wanted, have flat and gloss.

Make sure you USE all the prep products DONT SKIP THEM, also both the prep cleaner and adhesion promotor are avaible in spray bomb form also. It comes in a quart can part number sx1004 but for spray bomb the number is sxa1004. Good luck...Eric

Plastic
1. Clean first with soap and water and a gray scuff pad. Surface should be scuffed
thoroughly with extra attention to textured surfaces until surface is clean and rinsed
with water.
Note: If contamination still exists after the cleaning process, water will bead on the
surface. Repeat process until beading no longer occurs.
2. Clean thoroughly with SX1004 Plastic Cleaner and Prep using a clean, lint free
towel and wiping in one direction only. Rinse with water and dry.
3. Apply 1 light coat, followed by 1 full coat of SX1050 Plastic Adhesion Promoter
to promote adhesion on TPO, EPDM, PP and similar thermoplastics, allowing 5-10
minutes between coats.
4. Allow to flash between coats 10-15 minutes, but no more than 30 minutes
before topcoating.
5. Topcoat with Elastomeric Color System using 20-25 psi from conventional
equipment or 8-10 psi at the cap from HVLP equipment, apply one medium wet
coat followed by one full wet coat allowing 5-10 minutes flash time between coats.
6. For SB10/SB11 Elastomeric Clears, apply 2 medium wet coats allowing 5-10
minutes flash time between coats.
7. The Elastomeric Color System can be re-coated within 24 hours without
additional surface preparation. Blow off all lint or dirt and re-coat. Although film is
dry to the touch, it should not be subjected to heavy abuse or abrasion for 24 hours.

Thanks for the reply:
I found out at my local PPG dealer when I went looking, they can supply me with the color as long as I had the interior code.
I did match the PUI headliner color with a SEM color called "Super White".
As for the parchment seat cover color, thats gonna be a different deal as it's a kind of flip flop.
My plan is to buy the seatcovers,arm rest,pads, seatbacks and bases already in the parchment color and hope they come out with the headrest to match.
The rest of the interior is black so thats easy.
