Re: Troubles matching new "Saddle" seat covers, any advise?
I have been trying to match 'saddle' on the plastic parts in both my '72 K5 and '71 C10 for 7 years. I used SEM Bluebird Brown on the door panels and seat backs and Rustoleum Equestrian on the consoles. I'll bet I have a dozen rattle cans of tan/brown/saddle shades and none are spot on. Wesco Auto Body offered to mix the proper color from their vintage book (which lists different formulas for '71 and '72 by the way) but at $100 I couldn't justify it.
Consider our truck's vinyl has likely faded into different shades depending on the material and that all the component colors probably didn't really match when it was new either.
