Anyone have a recommendation for Firethorn paint for my Can Am? Looking to replace some dash / door parts and will need to paint them. Could use the Firethorn and white paint. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

Get SEM's brand firethorn red it comes in a spray can. It is the best match you will find. I don't know about the white. You can google SEM's and find out the part number. If I go to the where I keep my Can Am stored I will look up the number on the can I used. Maybe someone else on here has it. I had the local O'reilly's order it for me. Kbars

I am not sure of the actual brand, but The Eastwood Company carries a whole line of interior paints, including firethorn red.

I recommend SEM interior dye, but not their aerosol dye. Have your local auto paint supplier mix up the correct color, and apply it with a spray gun. The end result is far better.

While I also agree a gun is always best for getting an even match with paint, I have used the SEM aerosol cans for my interior with great success. No color match problems at all. You cant skimp though...you have to get the vinyl and plastic prep along with the paint and use them all appropriately according to their labels.

The key though is painting when there is little/no humidity. The label calls this out, but adhere to it! If its too humid youll get a lot of spots that will dull when they dry. I figured I was doing something wrong on the prep side, so I redid the pieces several times, but the same result always occurred. It wasnt until i called SEM tech support that I was set straight. Waited for the air to dry out, painted them up, and its been great for 5+ years now.
