G'day Everyone,
Can anyone help me with the mixing code for 1969 Bright Blue code 411 interior dye,
seeing as how the spray cans of dye can't be shipped by air to Australia?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Since you already know the code, I assume you want the formula.

Different for every paint manufacturer.

If you have SEM available down there, then you can email this guy.

If other manufactures like PPG, DuPont etc, your paint jobber can call or email them for their code. You just need to tell them your year and code. They then cross that to the paint manufacturer code and then look up the formula to mix the paint.

I highly recommend that you go to your nearest professional auto body paint supply store (NOT a parts store) and request SEM liquid interior dye mixed to your GM interior color code (for your specific year). If you have spray equipment, great; if you don't, see if they carry a PreVal bottle/gas sprayer or some other brand that they recommend. SEM interior dye is very dense in color, but very thin in texture, and will spray nicely with just an inexpensive gas/bottle sprayer.

Clean parts VERY well with detergent and rinse all residue and cleaner off the surfaces. Let dry completely and spray two light covering coats of SEM on the part surfaces. If the parts have not been recolored before, you really won't need a primer (needs to be specifically for the SEM dye); but you should use a primer if the parts have been recolored with paint or other non-dye product before shooting with SEM.

To my knowledge guys SEM is not available in Australia.

Well, they have cars down under. And cars have interiors; and interiors are dyed. So, there must be some kind of vinyl dye available there. Go to the professional auto body paint store and ask what brand they carry; then ask if they can mix it to a GM (US) interior color code.

Will that work for you?

Order a quart. You'll have plenty of dye left over, but you'll have the color you want.

Sorry about your problems with SEM; it's the best stuff available.
