1971 Mustang Mach 1 fastback. The rear side panels are sun damaged. I have tried all types of cleaning and learned from this forum they can’t be cleaned.
I have decided to take them out and spray paint them. Color is called bright red.
Looking for a place I can buy the closest color in a spray. I have found touchup paint but not spray paint. I have tried a red on the back of the front seats but to bright,
Have attached a picture of front interior and door panels.

Any suggestions.

If you have a local auto paint supplier have them mix the color in SEMS paint for plastic,they can usually put it in a spray can but you may have to get 4 cans before they will mix it ,you can get a clear primer for plastic in a spray can ,follow the instructions on the can and it will last a long time
 
I purchased SEM vermillion red which is the interior color of my 71 Mach 1.
I sprayed on the adhesive promoter as directed and 4 coats of the SEM paint.
I ended up using the whole can and was disappointed in the coverage.
It did not cover very well. I have attached a couple of pictures. One is of a worn spot that is black that I even over sprayed (I have a few others but are out of site) as you can tell and the other is the main quarter panel that had sun damage. In person you can still see a hint of darkness.
I have a feeling if I buy new which all I have seen come black color it would not cover.
The paint cost around $18 and shipping $13.
Looking for suggestions on what I may have done wrong or if there is a color that is close. It is the back seat, so if close not to noticeable.

I am back again looking for paint help.
I have found a place that will make me a spray can with the color I need if I have the color code.
I have tried Ford but car is to old. I also do not have the sticker on the door. I know the exterior is Bright. I need the interior color code for Vermillion Red.
Any suggestions or answers appreciated.
