Question
I just purchased a 1974 Maverick Grabber with med. avocado interior. It needs some freshening and I can't find the color I need. Do you know a company that carries that or can special mix it for me. I really love the color and don't want to have to change my whole interior to something else.
Thank you,
Gail

Answer
Hi Gail,

Honestly, you will have a hard time getting the correct color without going to a paint supply house and getting the color matched. The original formula for this won't be accurate even if you find someone that has the formula. I wished I had a better answer for you but unfortunately that's the best I can offer.
