Hey, I was wondering what is the opinions of the guys who have dyed interior parts on what is the best black paint to use to match the oem black leather interior parts like dash, window trim and steering wheel.

All responses welcome!

Thanks!

Hey I've used the napa vinyl spray paint. It only comes in gloss black as far as I know though. It doesn't scrape off very durable and nice just that it's gloss...that was on my other car

I've also used some other vinyl spray paint maybe duplicolor or plasticote from auto zone and that has worked fine too for covering the leather. I dont know how well it matches the stock black but black is black better than tan

Where do you get the sem paint from?

Best paint for interiors is made by SEM, use satin black, Landau, or gloss back. SEM makes GREAT paint.Any good automotive paint store carries this product and will have a color chart to choose from. Leatherique is where you want to buy your black leather dye for Lexus. Great company, great leather products.

You cant get SEMs from a auto parts store. Some automotive paint stores sell it but mainly you have to find it online

Just call any good Automotive Paint Store....meaning a store that specializes in selling/mixing paint for the autobody/paint trade. SEM is a WIDELY use brand in the trade, they sell it in rattle cans for your application.

Just ordered some SEM Landau Black online as well as some sandstone w/ the leather prep. Once I get it and start I will post pics of how it turns out!

Gravediggin instead of making a new thread.

How many cans of the SEM would it take to do the complete interior?
Mine has been started by the previous owner and it needs redone...

It would take about 12 to 15 cans of SEM if you were to do the complete interior. That would be if you were not doing the carpet with it approximately....give or take.

Now I noticed you live in Florida....where exactly? I got my interior dyed for the black/tan interior and he did a great job for a real good price. PM me if your interested.

And to the OP....SEM landau is the way to go. My dye guy used SEM sure coat which is very similar to the landau for the black OEM look.
