Armrest Pads off color
I purchased a set of armrest pads from Latemodel Restoration Supply. The only choice they had was Light Gray, so that is what I purchased. Well, the colors don't match, of course. Any one else have better luck matching Opal Gray? Where did you buy it from?

Here's a picture to show how OFF the color is...

I should have said, but I'm sure it is obvious...the new one is on the armrest, the old one is resting up on top.

The only thing I can think of is dying it to mach, or finding a nice original pad. :/

Go to an automotive pint store. Ask for rattle can ( spray paint ) upholstery paint. It appears your color is Titanium Gray.
You will want to purchase.... SEM COLOR COAT Upholstery Paint ( color ) LADERA # 15713 It is an almost exact match to Titanium Gray. I had to do the exact thing with my arm rests I purchased from them. I have used this on most of the interior items in my car. Rear deck stop light, console etc. You can not tell the difference. Spray a light coat, let dry well, spray one another coat. Repeat once more if needed. Do not let run !!! Its good stuff |
oooops
That is PAINT store LOL not pint store lol
I need to proof read before I post lol |
The grey repop pads are not in factory grey shades. They are a lighter grey so dying to a specific color is easier.
I wanted to get some new armrests for my 84 GT, but NPD only had the light, neutral shade of grey. |

Thank guys. I will do this.

You may want to take one of the original arm pads with you to the paint store to match cap colors before buying 2 cans or 3 to get the right or closest color you need.
Thay may have a different brand of upholstery paint. Just a suggestion. |
