Although I have the crimson interior, the best matching paint that I have found is at Pep Boys. At the time I bought mine they even had a corss reference book to find the exact paint needed.

This probably won't help much. But I walked into my local O'Reillys (they have an in-house paint department) told them Year, Make, Model, and color. And about ten minutes later they had a rattle can of paint ready to go. If I remember right it was on the expensive side (for rattle cans anyway) about $25 if memory serves correctly. The ONLY reason it didn't match perfectly is because new paint will always win over 14+ year faded interior parts ANYDAY!

VHT part number Sp980 should be the color you need.

I used the VIN # off of my 95 which had the paint color number of the interior in it. I then went to a Dodge dealer and had them get me a small can of it at about $8.00. Just my 2 cents worth. Ray
