This item is considered Hazmat by shippers. This item can ONLY ship via USPS Ground Advantage to the lower 48 Contiguous United States.

This is a GOOD match for 1967-68 Cougar parchement / off-white interiors. SEM brand COLOR COAT is formulated to match, restore or change color on most vinyl surfaces, flexible and rigid plastics, carpet and velour. COLOR COAT is fade resistant, flexible and is a semi-permanent coating. We do not recommend this product for driver side arm rests, door pull straps, shift handles, front seats or other items that will receive constant use. This product is great for dash pads, headliners, consoles and the like. Many vendors do offer a "generic" sampling of colors, but to obtain true restoration quality results, you will need multiple variations of the same color. This is true unless you have parchment or black and then Landau Black  or Parchment White will in fact do most all of your 67-73 interior parts. If you examine your parts very carefully you will notice some parts have metal-flake (like dash pads) and some do not. There were multiple suppliers (over a dozen) for the different plastic and vinyl interior parts and whereas one would think they all would be identical in color they are not. Due to the vast array of materials used and different suppliers and manufacturing methods used to produce these parts multiple shades of any one color are needed to obtain a correct original appearance. Locally we rely on "Industrial Finishes" to custom match and mix our SEM brand interior paint. This automotive paint supply store uses a hand held electronic scanner to scan an original part that has not been subjected to harsh UV rays. This service is less costly than you might think, usually multiple custom mixed colors can be obtained for under $200 and supplied within 48 hours. Nothing looks worse than an old interior that someone has "fogged" heavily with a "one size fits all" off the shelf color. It will take extra time, effort and money to recolor your interior parts correctly but the results are worth it.

Don was able to get me a used door panel for my 68, but it was red and my interior is parchment. I got this SEM dye/paint from him at the same time, on his recommendation, and you cannot ask for an easier to lay down product and complete coverage.

I waited to review this product to give it some "durability" time. This dye, goes on much like paint and should be applied like paint in several light coats. It covers very well, and has proven to be very durable even on "high traffic" areas like back seat, console, and door panel. The only reason I gave it a "4" on correctness is that I have only a vague idea as to "correct" for 1968 Parchment. Some items ordered in Parchment claiming to be correct are a little darker than other items claiming to be correct. This Parchment dye is of the "lighter" shade that I believe to be the most correct.
