They've been responsive with me in the past. Give them the color code located on the cowl tag and they'll let you know if it will be a custom mix or if they have a rattle can available. The custom mix will need to be done at a local SEM paint supplier and usually requires a minimum of 1 pint and you'll have to use your spray equipment.

No idea, but what area are you trying to match? Upholstery? Plastic? Dash metal?

If you don't have an account, A, you pay through the nose, B, you're lucky if they will even talk to you. I buy enough that they know me but still, not the greatest in customer service. They all just want the easy repair shop work.

But yes, if you find a good paint place they can do it. It's the finding a good paint place that is the problem.

I found another mom n pop shop just a little further away that caters to mostly pro's only. The guys in that store are more than helpful and will answer any question. They helped me a great deal when I was painting my cars. I only go in about once every six months but they know me by name.
But yes, if you can find a decent paint store (not auto zone types) they should be able to mix something up.

Are those rattle cans or do you spray that from a cup gun? You achieved some great results with it regardless.

That said, I'm still really impressed with the SEM quality. That stuff really sticks and flexes. I dyed vinyl seats on a jet ski and it still looks great years later in the sun, water and getting abused.
