Hi All, Happy New Year to the Mopar brethren! My 63 Dodge has a trim code of 625 and the red color for the trim inside is listed as Majestic Red. I tried Herbs Parts Paint which is listed for 63-65 but it is Crimson and does not match. It is too light as you can see in the last image below. The top piece of trim is painted and the bottom is the original color. I have a wagon and need to paint the rear side panels and other plastic trim pieces so need flat or possible satin. Has anyone out there got a source for this red that will adhere to plastic panels?
Thanks

Do you have an air compressor and a detail spray gun? I would go to a PPG dealer with the original piece and have them do a direct color match with elastomeric interior paint. SEM might also have something pretty close.
 
We used PPG products to get the 628 trim code on my '63. I know it was tweaked a bit to get the correct sheen...

Thanks. I am looking at the SEM paints. Could solve the problem.

Fyi, some plastic or vinyl paints can off gas forever, basically smell eternally, if you're bothered by that.

I had painted armrests once, forget the paint brand, it was armrests or me so they went.

Could be an isolated incident, or better yet, it's not an issue at all anymore.
 
Thanks for the heads up. Worth thinking about as I need AC in the Summer!
