Has anyone out there found a dye that duplicates or at least closely approximates the Firethorn (reddish-orange) color found in the interiors of many of the 70s Pontiacs?

Dave,
Sorry, I stopped by a UPS Store today to let them quote costs and they told me that they won't ship spray paint from there. They told me I would have to go directly to UPS (so what is a UPS Store?  ). It may not be worth it. Not that it matters but I discovered that mine is vinyl dye afterall. Jim |

Jim,
That sounds like a good deal to me, and thanks for the offer. I need the vinyl dye, too, but having 1.5 cans of the plastic lacquer would give me one less thing to buy. Does the PO charge a lot to send an aerosol product through the mail?

I purchased a spray can of Firethorn Red vinyl dye to spray the plastic seat back of a 1976 Cosworth Vega and it turned out perfect. The paint store had the can on the shelve so I am sure that it is available in many paint stores.

Damn...weird that they make it such a hassle to ship...it was shipped to you in the first place. Thanks for doing all the legwork, that was very nice of you. If you wanted to spray a small sample for me, that would be pretty helpful. I'll e-mail you my address.

I'll do the sample this evening.
I even said to UPS that they delivered it in the first place. Go figure? Jim |

Dave,
If your looking for plastic/metal interior lacquer, I might have 1 1/2 spray cans that I can send you. I tried to order some '68 red from a repro parts vendor and it looked too orange. When I called them, they said their supplier used the same code as the 70s Firethorn. Sure enough, their catalog has it that way. They issued me a credit but did not want it back. Rather than toss it, I can send it to you for shipping costs. If first you want me to spray a test piece and sent it to let me know. This is not the vinyl dye, however. Jim |

Checked with the USPS and they won't let me mail it either.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
