Thanks to this forum I've been successfully using the SEM 15003 Phantom White color coat on my ecru color leather for years to keep it fresh. Does anyone know the name of the steering wheel / dash color for the 3rd gen LS with ecru? In my 03 L430 UL with the ecru interior the dash, steering wheel and airbag is a grayish tan. I'm looking for the SEM match for that color for some touch up. I appreciate any help, you have saved me so much time & $. Thanks!

Your dash, steering wheel, and gearshift **** should be the same color. You could remove the gearshift ****, take it to a paint store (or Lowes or Home Depot) and have them make a 4 oz sample color match of their best flat latex paint. I've done this and it allows a perfect touch up of the steering wheel and shift ****. Haven't had a reason to us it on the dash. There's little to lose trying this method. If you put it on the dash and it isn't the right color you can just wipe it off. You can do that almost instantly for less than $5.

I could go that route but I've found the SEM color coat products bind well to the leather/vinyl and are fairly durable. My steering wheel leather is pretty rough and sees alot of use so I'm afraid of just using regular paint. I didn't know if anyone had found a SEM color for the dash as with the Ecru/Phantom White match. They have several online that look close but it is hard to match colors to a computer screen. Thanks!

Don't ask for help if your mind is already made up. Just keep doing what you are not doing.

I was just seeing if someone on the forum has found one of the professional leather/vinyl sprays that was a close match to this dash color. I don't have a distributor near me to check colors in person.
