You can call your local auto paint supply store (ask a body shop of repute) and they may be able to mix the paint if they supply SEM products. Or you may send a small sample of your color to SEM, (cut a small bit of upholstery off of your seat underneath where no one can notice and send it to them). SEM will match it and provide a formula for mixing by the auto paint store. You can then get the paint and the prep materials from the store and put it in a sprayer. I use a Preval sprayer, available from a general paint store, and I use several so I have more than one available in case I experience one that clogs. You should prepare to keep spraying the entire job without stopping. Prevals are inexpensive and have a self contained air supply, but they clog if you're not careful. I keep a jar of thinner handy into which I can drop spray heads that clog before the paint drys, and can also dip the Preval spray tube into the thinner if it clogs. Wear a good mask.

One word of caution: if you don't want your SEM color to appear "wet" of glossy, ask SEM to include a de-glossing agent in the formula. I made the mistake of not asking, and my dash appears to have the garbage Armourall sprayed all over it. It reflects too much light. I need to get some dulling agent from SEM to spray it and return it to the stock appearance.
