How hard is it to find red interior parts?

[jeryst]

I saw a red Cuda with a red interior, and I really liked it (Red is my favorite color, in case you haven't guessed). Anyway, since my 73 Cuda project is red, I was thinking about converting the interior to red. The headliner, seat covers, and carpet are no problem, so I need to find red door panels, front and back, and either a red dash pad, or a red dash cap. Before I commit, I was just wondering how hard red interior parts are to find. I don't like vinyl dye. I've heard a lot of negative comments about aftermarket door panels, so I'd like some opinions on those as well.

I'm sorry, but SEM dye is my only solution. I'm not sure about the red door panels, but I really don't think you will find a red dashpad out there.

Red blue & white Vinyl parts deteriorated far worse than black , the dye corrupts the vinyl which is also why records were predominantly made of blck vinyl
as with anything I`m sure red parts will be available on Ebay eventually but do not expect them to be cheap
 the new Palco panels I have seen were passable but not impressive

I spoke with Just Dashes about panels in red for my Challenger.  They can reskin black panels in red.  It cost $1000 to do all 4 .  I have seen other posts here about having your panels reskinned and people have been happy with them.  Everything else is easy to get.  Ssnake-oyl  http://www.ssnake-oyl.com/  can do your belts in red.  My Challenger came with a red interior and was changed to black when the red went bad.  I am faced with the same problem.

Ultimate Rides can do a red dash pad.

The way that just dashes fixes door panels, is by attaching a layer of vinyl over the panel, which works, but does not look right installed in the car. Have yet to find a great source for repo door panels yet.

I was discussing this on another post, but has anyone tried painting a panel with paint that has a flex agent in it, like when they repaint vinyl noses on some cars?

A flex agant may help; although the panels don't flex much.  The thing I see is peeling.  You need a paint the bites into the plastic without melting the panels.
