Is it me or is Herbs F8 Green Met 1198 for 1970 Interiors a little too light. I have some original Green trim and its much darker. Looking into Sem Color coat. What do you think. The paint seems to spray out and look good. Bob

Bob F8 green interiors are tough to match, as the shades of green vary depending on the trim piece/panel I'd recommend SEM from experience, these 2 SEM numbers might yield the darker shade you need, SEM# C-VP5084 Dark Midnight Green, and SEM# 0557 Dark Green, I'd also recommend SEM Low Lustre Clear be sprayed over the final color coat, you won't see no sheen, very transparent and natural looking, but protects the "dyed" surface from marring/dirt/scuffs/cleaning products/etc Mike

We tried both of those as well- https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbt...tml#Post1890175(and thank you Mike and all who made suggestions in the above thread) but respectfully, I think the midnight Dark Green is a little too dark, may be a good match for the B-Body Dark Green Poly though. And the SEM 0557 looks to be spot on for the later green (71 and maybe even later to 73 or 74?) e-body interior green, but still a little different than the 1970 shade. I know I'm getting picky now, for sure. But still hopeful what they mixed for us as 1970 Bayou Green Poly will be a good match.

I just went through this trying to match the Bahama Blue (1968) interior of my 'vert. I ordered the TCP global stuff in acrylic urethane and it was too dark. SEM didn't have a good match so I ended up with Dupont's Spectra Master Vinyl Paint. It comes in an incredible selection of colors and is available in different glosses as well. Be forewarned, it is pricey, but covers well.

Going to get some SEM matched to my original trim. Thanks for the replies. Green is a hard one. Looking at original cars green seems to be all over the place. Bob
