Default interior dye/paint source

Does anyone know a good source to get interior dye/paint? Is my local auto paint supply store able to do something like this or am I going to have to go to a specialist company for it?

I ask as I'm unable to find the correct medium blue paint for my '69 Biscayne. If I'm local, at least I could bring in a kick panel and they can look at the backside of it to match up the color for both the dash pad & kick panels.

I saw Just Dashes has their Fade Away kit, but for 2 quarts (plus whatever is in the kit), it's $200, which I find rather expensive. Plus, I'll still have to send them a sample.

Sam, I actually just called Space Age in Mesa. They're able to mix up whatever I need as long as I bring in a sample. Which is good news. I just hope I can find a decent piece of the kick panels and dash pad that hasn't been ravaged by the sun....

Local Dupont store has 8 color books with every shade you can imagine, or give them a code and they will match from their computer. Once color is selected you let them know % of flat to gloss and what type of surface you are applying, ie rigid plastic, flexable vinyl etc and they mix to specs.

I have had great results in matching blues and greens. i took a green interior sample and they matched stripe paint exactly.

Any auto body shop supply that carries mainstream paints should be able to do the same.
