No luck, Apparently the colour I need is Carmine , this claret they got is actually dark claret which is more brown.. they won't do swaps as they don't sell easy.. good customer service hey.. maybe if they said it's a dark claret I might have not thought otherwise.2 options order another one and waste more money or get the same colour I used for dash vinyl and paint the roof lining, thoughts? I think it will work as the spray cans are very good quality and colour will match the dashboard, either way the way it is I cannot put it in..

Yes if you put the light close to it you can see burgandy in it but yes more brown then anything.. I won't win the argument with these idiots so how do I fix it, dye might be a solution.. the way dashboard came out I don't think I ll have any issues using the same spray

I think l'd rather the correct colour material. It would last longer?

Hi all, no point getting tight it has to be done right, did find a guy that can make it carmine colour and install it for 800 , all he does is Holden Interiors. Just been busy with life but will start getting into it a bit more.. also I am thinking of painting my existing red door cars in this 2 tone claret and carmine , it should look nice.Got a mate that works in paint shop, he is trying to mix me some carmine colour in spray can, there are like 4 different ones, see below.I think the one in the middle is better.

I didn't think I'd like the red as it's so outdated and I never liked it back then either but on your build I think it looks pretty decent.

Thanks mate , considering that inside of it looked like this a day before, not bad...whole Interior was sourced used cheap ..all over the place , carpet ,Mate from Sydney brought it down, frot seats from Ballarat, back seat Echuca... Its looking good, it was a bitch trying to align all the holes but moving forward, hoping to have it most of it out together by Feb then take it to mechanic to put box and engine and dial everything in, I am getting excited
