Just find the part number and google it; you'll see dozens of online options.

I'm an upholsterer, SEM is the best interior paint/dye that you can get. Its quite bit more expensive than duplicolor or other interior paints but well worth it in the end IMO.

Check your yellow pages(if you know what that is), otherwise check your local app on your smart phone for an upholstery supply place near you. If you cant find any close, email me(sales@redzonline.com) and I can grab some from my supplier here and ship it to you.

You should buy SEM at Amazon that one i always bough SEM. SEM way better Dulicolor..

Dulicolor just okay but it can peel in few weeks..

Prolly 6-8. I think this would be enough. You dont want to run out in the middle. Plus you have some left over for some possible touch ups.

I cant stress enough the fact that your going to want to remove all the parts that you want to paint (i painted parts still in the car...no bueno) so make sure to take out the seats and all other parts and be sure to clean the seat off and take all dirt and oils off parts good luck and post pics please

Forget Amazon. The major SEM distributor on there is TCP global and they charge you like $4-$7 shipping per can! I found this place, on a lead from CL. I bout $160 worth of stuff. Shipping was $12. Check it out.
