86' GMC carpet

I ordered carpet from GMC Paul's back in January. Their site claims OEM colour within 5%, but what I recieved was not even close to original. After being told their policy states no returns on carpet and then finally being out right ignored I had to sell the carpet locally. Anyway I am wondering if someone can recommend a company that reproduces carpet in a CLOSE match to original. The colour is the standard "GM blue" of the 80s era. My '88 Caprice has identical blue carpet and door panels. I have attached a picture below: original on top, GMC Paul's "within 5% of oem" on bottom.

I uses ACC carpet and door bottoms for 2 of my trucks. I bought them from stockinteriors.com. There is a good chance GMC Paul sells ACC products.

Are you just doing the door bottoms or are you doing the floor too?

I am wanting to do door panels and carpet. I forgot to write down the name off the box that was shipped from GMC Paul's but the company was from California I think.

Keep in mind that there are several "blues". What your showing almost looks like dark blue & medium blue.
Check out USA1 Industries, they do a really good job at having the correct colors.

I am going to phone them in the morning. Wish I found them before I bought from GMC Paul's. Thank you.

Talk to Randy. What's nice too, their door carpet comes with the metal trim, were all the other places don't. They really strive to have the correct colors.
