Anyone know what the matching SEM is for the '93 Gray? Someone said its the "Medium Gray" but according to the chart, it looks too dark. #15803 "Opel Gray" looks like it would work thou.

Justin, call VinylPro: http://www.vinylpro.com/

They can custom mix SEM colors. This may be your grey color.

Ruby Red GM code 79I = SEM 4791
Light Beige (Tan) GM code 64I= SEM 4693
Light Grey (SS Grey) GM code 14I= SEM 4698
Med DRK Adriatic Blue (94 to 96 Police car blue) GM code 30I= SEM 4820

It is a perfect match, I used it on my console and door panel repairs.

Tom,

Is that SEM 4698 a custom number? I can't find that online or at Vinyl Pro. I emailed them so hopefully they can tell me.

Hi Justin

Yes that is a custom color, which they mix, you will not find it on the chart. Call them up, they are real helpful.

You never realize how much the sun fades colors until you get a sample of the original. I'm guessing that color probably is the right one and it'll match up well to the back of the door panels and such.

Ok, Talked to Vinyl Pro. He said I need SEM 17123. He's trying to get a matching number for the Color Coat series so I can shoot my plastic dash piece and my vinyl seats. But looking at the chart online, 17123 still looks too dark.

i spray a lot of interiors at the dealership..... all the SEM colors look darker but usually dry to a lighter tone.
apply in light coats, allowing each coat to dry before the next is applied.
dont spray to heavy it will cause headaches!!!!.......

..... also robbins auto parts stores will custom mix spray cans to what you need

I will add to this. Wash with a mild degreaser soap like "dawn", and a fine scotchbrite pad. But do not get too wet. After it dries, wipe it again with a wax and grease remover on a rag. Then you are ready to paint. First coat should be just a dusct coat to cover the old color. I would give it 3 even coats with a half hour in between coats.

I scrubbed the seats down today with Simple green to get all the moldy/gross bits off then hit them with leather and vinyl cleaner. Should I scrub them with Dawn next?

Yes. Then get some wax and grease remover or even some mineral spirits and wipe it down. You want a very good base for the paint to stick too. Especialy on a seat.

Will do, if Vinyl Pro gets back to me, I wanna order the SEM this week as I want the seats in for Roundup. Im just worried that i'm going to spray the seats and they wont match the rears and my OCD will kick in and it'll all be downhill from there Laughing

Not by much, if any from what I can tell. He recommended 2-3 cans for the seats. So I went with 3 just to be safe. If I need more, then so be it, but hopefully i'll have enough.

I ordered 3 cans. It was a can per seat. 3/4 of the 3rd can did the dash surround and a Riviera console. I'm taking a break as the fumes, even with both garage doors open and a fan going gave me a headache... drunken
