Re-doing a door panel?

[furyous1964]

The interior in my car is original and in extremely good shape. I have one door panel that is semi messed up. I got samples of colors to see what a new panel would look like but after an interior has been in a car for 40+ yrs the color combo would not match at all. It is for my 64 sport fury and I have the dark copper with rosewood metallic inserts. The dark copper would be close but the new rosewood is a lot lighter than the faded rosewood in my car. Although faded it looks very clean and I don't see the need to replace the whole interior to match for just one door panel. My question is has anyone had a door panel redone to match the existing panels in their car? If so who did you go to or use? There is a place in Van nuys,CA www.justdashes.com and I was thinking about going there to have them re do a few things but has anyone had any experience with them? Any help would be appreciated.

I needed to dye my headliner in my 67 GTX. It has a copper interior and everything in the interior is a different color of tan or brown. I had a small peice of the origional headliner and scanned it with a DuPont Chromavision color camera. The jobber then mixed up some vinyl color to match. It was close and we tinted it a little closer. See if your local paint supplier has the scanner and take the car to the store and scan the panel.
