Crap, now I have to find out if I have "dark blue", "Navy", or "midnight blue"

Well, just from looking on it on the screen (which is a very inaccurate method for checking color) I believe the closest to my seats is the 925 Champagne II, but also could be Cashmere or Cashmere II if it faded over the years...although I have no idea if these colors were available in MY 81.

Bumping this back to the top.

I picked up a pristine brown vinyl dash off craigslist yesterday for a few dollars and will be taking Dan's advice an turning it into a navy blue dash. At the same time I'm going to take my black pod and change it to the original color also.

Wish me luck, and I'll post pictures as I proceed.

Here's the one I'm replacing.

I used these folks and was very pleased.

I got some dye that was wrong, my fault, and they let me return it and sent me the correct version and paid for the shipping. Can't beat that service. I redid the rear seats in the 87 to match the new front leather and I think they look pretty good.

I've included a couple of images, not the best, but perhaps you can get an idea.

Marine Blue

Sean that almost looks like Cobalt blue in that picture. Did you figure out what color it is?

SeanR

Not yet.

What is interesting about this process. Paul Champaign was here in town a month back with his Porsche Interior Color chart and swatches. We could not match up anything in my car. The seats are not in there, nor was the door/dash/pod colors.

He says he's got one other customer with the same seats as mine and he has not been able to match it. Said something about a special order color or what not.

I'm going to send a sample someplace and see what they can come up with and go from there.

Man, I would love to have that color blue in a 928, I think it's fantastic.

Here's a link to a recent vinyl dash re-paint I did with SEM products. Fortunately they had a stock color that was a perfect match for BMW Parchment

It was your post Rob that brought this thought back to my mind. Roger and I have been looking for a dash like what I've got and after you posted that up, it got me looking for any color dash so I could switch it up.

Thanks for the reminder and the post.
