Is there a company out there that does vinyl to vinyl color match? I'm working on a 1981 Toyota Corolla and I want to match the original OEM vinyl color . Every color I find is either too dark or too light and this is a seat repair

Your best bet is probably using the closet match you can find and having a vinyl repair guy recolor that piece to match. The problem with repairs is that even if you find OEM material the color will still be off because the vinyl in the car has faded from sun exposure.

Yeah its not as easy as it should be. I usually shy away from repair jobs for this reason. There are lots of places that will custom die leather to match but I have never seen a place that does vinyl. Thats why I suggested the vinyl repair guy. Let us know what solution you come up with!
