Vette(s): 1969 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Just bought it from my uncle who owned it since 1971. Fathom green, green interior. 350/300, T400.
I usually go up to the auto body supply store, went there today, said they can't mix it up anymore. Called several other places including Corvette Central with no luck. I'm looking for '69 green in a spray can.
Thanks,
Matt

Try Corvette America. Their name is on most of the cans distributed by the Corvette parts vendors.

The local corvette centers around here carry it also, such as Corvettes of Houston... Maybe you have one in your area.

I bought my first paint from Corvette Central, but at 12 bucks a can, that's steep. I have since by mine by the quart, mix my own and spray with my gun. The dye is around 30 bucks a quart, but goes a lot further. Or course you need a compressor, paintgun, etc. Bill

Vette(s): 1979 red - oyster leather trim.
I checked in Corvette America catalogue and 69 green for interior is code 14. I just did my Oyster interior and I would pass to you two suggestions that were made to me by members of this site.
1 - It takes a lot of dye (it took me 7 cans to dye both seats, steering column, and all interior headlining, including all interior trim around windshield)
2 - I ordered the 7 cans in three different lots and there were some shade differences. So, order them in one shot to get them from the same lot.

You can have a look at some pics I put up this week by going to subject "1979 Oyster Interior" in this forum. Good luck and please show us the results.
