1963 Riverside Red Door Panel Color and Finish

[Frederick H.]

I reviewed a few other threads but did not see any recent ones regarding spray can dyes that are accurate. I tried the dye from Corvette America (purchased through Top Flight) a couple of years ago and it was too pink with no sheen. I couldn't find anything in the judging manual about finish but it should be close to the rest of the interior if my thinking is correct. Does anyone have any success stories with current dyes on the market?
Thanks in Advance.

I used spray dye from Corvette America many years ago on the original door panels and dash pads and it worked great. They may have changed their formula. I do remember that the sheen was low. I can't remember what I used to enhance the sheen, maybe some Pledge? I do remember that I shook the can for a long time to be sure the dye was mixed well. I've attached a few pictures of my '64 red interior. Car has went through all levels of flight judging wth no deductions.
