    I need a can of year correct forest green vinyl paint for the kick panels in my 71 Skylark. Does anyone know a good brand and/or part number?

    I used SEM vinyl paint when I converted a parchment rear seat to black. I would stand by that recommendation. SEM is the best out there. Duplicolor and a number of other companies make vinyl paints but I think SEM is the best. Preparation is 95% of the importance of that project. For seats or for kick panels. I think SEM also makes a pre-painting prep for plastic. Don't rush the cleaning of the kick panels. Scrub them good then use this before you paint. http://www.amazon.com/Paints-SEM38353-Plastic-Leather-Aerosol/dp/B000K25QR0/"

    I think I also used the adhesion promoter. http://www.amazon.com/SEM-39863-Pla...im_auto_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=0YF99VW1WSV1ZR4MC6RA

    I think this is what I used for paint. http://www.amazon.com/SEM-15013-Lan...0-1988664?ie=UTF8&refRID=1E29M2HN9B1K9M2N4FGC

    You can see if they make a green one.

    Totally agree with SEM. I used it on dash cover, armrests, headrests, pillars, etc. and it looks good and has held up without any problem.

    Ditto with SEMS. Have used it and others & it is the best out there. Just remember to do all your prep correctly

    I've seen this piece in person (along with the sport wheel he did) and the pictures don't do it justice. The sem turned out SHARP!

    Justin excellent job on that console! SEM is the BEST! But don't forget all major paint company's have a vinyl system . So when you want to mix certain colors. nobody has better selection than the Big four-five or six paint company's

    Nobody has a better color library than the big paint co. PPG Nexa Dupont Sikkens Glasarot so on!

    Thanks! I'll admit it's a shade off, I have thought about redoing it all but get some proper mixed stuff. But it's not far off now and I'm going to roll with it for a minute!
