is there a source for vinyl dye? if not where did you find interior pieces? im needing the push in pieces the wrap the winsdhield and back glass on the inside..all i found is black..but no paint for them...

 

I restored some interior pieces for a customer before,that had a 71 sienna convertible. I took a nice clean,unfaded sample to the local paint store,& had them mix some up into some spray cans.it was perfect,but you need a good sample to start with. From what they said,the mix is considered a yellow.Maybe that is the dominant color.

 

Im one of those guys. Closest non-custom match i found is:

1985 General Motors 68CN Russet 12

Medium Gloss (in Dupont)

884J LS Red Oxide 50.8
802J LS white 17.9
806J HS Black 5.0
305S Med Gloss Vinyl Clear 345.3

I dont know exactly how close you want it. This color probably is a little brighter and redder than stock. I redid all my seats and opted for this color because it matched the seats pretty well. But its a little less brown than the dash. Eventually will repaint everything in this color so it matches.

I tried custom match a couple of time and both blends were no better than the above - im my opinion and based on needing to match my seats.

 

You can get that online, or take the formula to the paint store.
1971 Dark Sienna interior code 23451. TCP Global has the color charts.
You can get it at Car Paint Online in interior paint in whatever way you want it. I've used them and the paint is nice, top shelf stuff. It is a low gloss, not flat like the top of the dash. I used it on my headliner trim and other plastic parts but clear lacquered it to get more of the original plastic gloss and more durability. You can use it on steel too, my load floor is the same Sherman-Williams WA type paint as the plastic parts, buffed that out to get more gloss.
The paint store is your best bet pricewise, they should be able to pull up the formula or match it as said.

I may have the piece for the front windshield but not the back. Years ago I pulled the Sienna interior from a 1971 Cutlass Supreme. I also have some parts from a 1971 Vista Cruiser same color. John
