My 72 Supreme has the dark saddle interior,and when I did some custom interior pieces,I had to get a custom mix made,to match the original color correctly.The spray cans that you get from the vendors are not correct.I had to do a few trial runs to get the mix right,but I have it now.I had it made with some Dupont interior/vinyl paint.I can't post a picture of the label,but I'll write the mix on here,as it is printyed on the label.You have to get the correct gloss level too,or it will change the final color .I have it done in low-gloss.
Mix size: 8oz (6.25% of gallon)
884J LS Red Oxide 21.2
881J HS Yellow Oxide 15.1
806J HS Black 6.5
801J HS White 2.6
305S Vinyl Resin 167.2

This mix cost me $33.50,but well worth it when it's right.I had to do this a few times to get it spot-on to match my interior,but now that I have it,I'm good.
To make a 16oz (pint),just double all of the numbers above,and double the cost.
I use one of those Preval spray bombs with the glass jar.You will also need Xylol,or something other than regular paint thinner to clean everything when you are done.
