There is no such thing as vinyl die....It is actually paint...

Vinyl is not porous...and will NOT absorb anything...

Have yet to find a close match.....

Best to take a nice original sample to any autobody paint supply house and have them mix up some SEM....to match..

A fellow PY member mentioned that the paint from Corvette America is very close. Bright blue was used on Vette's in 69 70

Also Kolor Korrect who apparently work with Legendary Interiors

Just Dashes mixed some up for me when they did my dash (since they only use black vinyl, it needed to be colored). I had them mix up enough to do the rest of the interior panels as well. That was 20 some years ago, but they're still in business, so might be worth checking with them.

I was probably the one that suggested the Corvette America paint. that they call dye. As mentioned it is a paint, but formulated for plastic and vinyl
as said in prier post the white and the blue on a 70 T/A are 69 70 corvette colors

A couple pictures of there aerosol.

side panels were sprayed ,touch up on seats (not center comforter weave), the console was new Blk.

Default AL Knoch in TX

Bird; I had my Dash redone by AL Knoch in TX (915-886-5800)and they did a great job. I also had them mix up a qt. of Bright Blue paint for the rest of my interior and it looks great. You might give them a call? Dave
