Hi all.
Hopefully someone on this forum has a torino that is interior code "MB" and can advise me as to what paint brand/code you found for a perfect match.
I have been to 2 local body paint supply places, had each mix me paint from a color sample part, and both are so far off they are unuseable....
I am wanting to match the vinyl color of the seats and dash pad that loook like they have some metallic in them.
Both paint shops mixed me straight color, no metallic, both are terrible.
I looked at Dearborn classics, and they sell a "dark blue" in a spray, but since they do not list it by paint code I am unsure if this will be any closer than the $100 worth of paint I have...
Just trying to repaint the steel panel in front of the dash pad, and the dash pad itself...
Maybe im being too fussy,  but I would really like for everthing to match in color shade and sheen.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Try autocolorlibrary.com or carpaintonline.com, hopefully you will find what you are needing for a paint match. Todd
