vinyl paint for 67 interior

[Ed M.]

I have the interior of my 67 marina blue/blue & white convertible gutted and have been trying to find someone locally who can mix some of the new Dupont Lucite Vinyl paint using the 304 or 305 resin. I have given the old Dupont R-M and Ditzler paint codes, found in the back of the older NCRS Specifications Guide, to all of these paint stores but they all say they can't find the formulas. PPG has discontinued it's vinyl paint. Does anybody know how I can get the formulas?

Ed,
Just out of curiosity, why do you want to paint the vinyl? Originally it was molded in color. Paint will wear off....

Gene,
The entire interior was dyed black at some point in the car's life. I have removed most of the black dye but the damage has been done and both blue and white parts are dull and streaked. I want the car to look fresh.

My Original 67 Was Not Molded In Color

My original 67 white door panels were not color molded nor was the park brake console cover. Both have worn nicely and the high ridge points on the door panels show yellow underneath. I had them color matched and dyed by a local (old car guy)auto detailer and they look brand new. The brake console was a yellow plastic factory painted/dyed white and I still need to restore it. I am going to use Long Island White vinyl dye on it and the rear quarter panels behind the seats.

Good Luck
