I am only wanting to create this post for future visitors or restorations. If anyone has used the SEM interior paint to refresh/restore/make new, should post the color that comes close or is exact match to all years of the MJ interior factory colors.(I'll edit the post as more info comes along) I just found out that SEM's medium grey is dead on for the lighter charcoal grey colors. I will be testing which colors will best restore the dark charcoal dash panels and center console. 84-85 XJ colors only Almond-SEM light buckskin(Also has a similar issue like the charcoal colors. It does have a two tone being the dash and console are darker than the rest of the interior.) Honey-SEM Camel Nutmeg- -Slate Blue- Medium Blue-Matte Nantucket blue rustoleum Garnet-SEM Firethorn red(huge discrepancy over the Garnet, it appears early on it was more red and later it got more cordovan. working this one out to find an according match). Colors offered(According to what the catalogue shows me. If I'm missing one please tell me.): 1986: Black, Medium Blue, Cordovan, Garnet, Honey and Tan. 1987: Black, Medium Blue, Cordovan and Tan. 1988: Charcoal, Cordovan, Navy and Tan. 1989: Same as '88 except Tan is now Sand. 1990: Charcoal, Cordovan and Sand. 1991-92: Charcoal, Cordovan and Dark Sand SEM: Black - Landau black Medium Blue - Matte Nantucket blue rustoleum . I am sure there is a suitable SEM. Garnet - SEM Firethorn red(plausible issue with said color matching garnet. Results vary) Honey - SEM Camel Tan - SEM Palomino or Santa Fe depending on the odd discrepancy for the years. Charcoal(2 colors light and dark) - Medium Grey(SEM) and Dark Grey(rustollium) or Very Dark Pewter(SEM) Cordovan - Burgundy Navy - SEM 15043 Shadow Blue Sand - SEM Santa Fe Dark Sand - 97-01 Agate-SEM 15303 Graphite Headlight bezels with darker silver trim-PDM 4889922AB Mopar Touch up paint.
