I'm looking for 2 nice (dark) blue defroster vent grilles that go in the dash pad up by the windshield, 81-87(91) style dash. I've picked up a few but have yet to get 2 that match in color AND aren't flaking paint somewhere.

Whatcha got?
 
I painted mine to match the dash when I refinished the interior. I have a set of brown ones (somewhere) that can be repainted in blue. Depending on the area, my interior Blue has some in SEM Shadow Blue, and other in USA 1 81 - 87 Blue.

Clean them up properly with SEM soap, use the SEM Solve Degreasser, use the correct activator by SEM and then do light coats sweeping both side up and down angling all around with light bursts.

If you dont have yours and want the challange to paint let me know. If not, I will be painting some seat belt sholder swivel covers in Shadow Blue shortly and I could repaint the brown ones ... (if I can find them)
 
I appreciate the offer, I have 2 sets of blue vents but they are faded and flakey so I'm being lazy and avoiding sanding down in the openings. I found some new blue vents on the USA1 site last night that are reasonable, they're probably close to the price of paint and shipping so I may do that.
