Piping Color

I'm trying to find a color match for the Cream color that I will paint the
car, but I can't find a vinyl the matches the right Cream color to make the
piping.
Any suggestions? Do I continue to look at vinyl books or is painting it
possible? Who has vinyl paint that can be mixed to match?
Any help will be appreciated, cheers Fig

Mr. Fig
Here in the US any Automotive paint supply store has
vinyl dyes available. They can mix it to an exact
match to any paint sample you have. I use SEM brand
dye. They can make it by the pint, quart, etc, some
shops can even supply the tinted dye in a spray. It's
a bit expensive, but it works well. Just apply like
any paint product.

Hi Fig,
Chip's right on. Most car interiors are now painted with vinyl, almost all
are molded basic vanilla colour and painted to suit. There is almost as large
selection of vinyl paint colours to choose from as exterior colours in the
chip books. I would pick one just slightly different from the exterior paint,
as the originals were often not a dead on match back then either.
Nice part about the vinyl paints is that they go on like lacquer, no need for
additives or hardeners. Also a very long shelf life. Get a light colour
basic piping from Moss or etc, fit it to the car roughly, paint, then final trim
and assembly. Good luck!
