I had to have it custom mixed, that color in particular is not available, nor is the formula.

SEM interior paint is all you need to know, I just redid mine with it and there is no doubt its a dead on match It's pricey at 55 a quart, but well worth it if you ask me.

I would provide befores, but they are all on my computer that the hard drive crashed on. I'm not sure if they where able to be retrieved yet so Ill have to check it out on the external hard drive they gave me...I thought they where on my F150online gallery, or my photobucket but I did not find them, sorry.

Here is the result with SEM custom mixed Interior paint (Note the camera does not do the match justice, its spot on trust me I wouldn't settle for less):




On the gauge pod I actually ended up just painting the whole side its on with SEM (from air vent down to around the flow through console) and it blended in perfectly:



Hopefully this helps you guys, if not let me know and I can get more pics or whatever. I know the local SEM dealer told me that SEM's website is way out of date so their dealer locator has a lot of places listed that are no longer dealers/carriers of SEM products (I found this to be true from several local places it listed). I have a ton left I would consider letting go, but I can't guarantee the match in everyone else's truck. Mine is 4.5-5 years old and had faded a bit.
