Balls on accurate 1968 dye for 414 trim

Does this exist? I'm guessing there is a dead ringer '66,'67 dye available, but I haven't been involved with mid-years enough to have come across it.

Don't know about the aftermarket dyes, but the original '68 414 interior paint was PPG/Ditzler #13572.

Well, yeah, but I would expect them to sell me the "perfect interior dye for [my] restoration."

Good to know, thanks! Happen to know if you reduce it the same as you would for body panels?

Still wavering on this. The Ditzler code is the same for '68 and '69, but it seems to me the '69 interior was just a bit brighter blue than '68. Maybe it's that I've looked at inaccurate restorations?

Take a piece of your existing trim color to a SEM dealer and let them match it.

Too late. AZ sun faded.

Try a back side or underneath. You are bound to find some of the original color.

True. Now, what to do about the seat covers without jacking up the stitching...
